Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

This study reports a rare case of bilateral macrostomia, a congenital lip cleft, in a 5-year-old girl. This condition, affecting oral aesthetics and function, presented as a sole entity without other facial deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Macrostomia is a rare congenital facial deformity classified under facial clefts.
  • It typically affects oral aesthetics and function and is often associated with other first and second branchial arch anomalies.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of bilateral macrostomia (bilateral lip cleft) in a 5-year-old girl.
  • The presentation was notable as it occurred as a sole entity, without associated skeletal or other facial deformities.

Findings:

  • Bilateral transverse clefts occurring in isolation are uncommon.
  • This case highlights a rare presentation of macrostomia as an isolated finding.

Implications:
