Facial growth associated with a cranial base defect - a case report
The Angle Orthodontist
|January 1, 1979
Summary
A posterior cranial base defect caused asymmetric skull growth. Surrounding soft tissues may have prevented more severe facial deformities through compensatory restraint.
Area of Science:
- Craniofacial biology
- Developmental biology
- Skull morphology
Background:
- Posterior cranial base defects can lead to significant craniofacial asymmetry.
- Understanding the mechanisms that mitigate malformations is crucial for clinical interventions.
