True hemifacial hyperplasia is a rare condition causing facial asymmetry due to unilateral overgrowth of facial tissues, bones, and teeth. This case report details an eight-year-old girl with congenital right-sided hemihyperplasia.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Study
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Craniofacial Anomalies

Background:

  • True hemifacial hyperplasia is an uncommon congenital condition characterized by unilateral overgrowth.
  • It affects all tissues within a localized facial area, leading to asymmetry.

Observation:

  • The case involves an eight-year-old Caucasian female patient.
  • The patient presented with congenital hemihyperplasia affecting the right side of her face.

Findings:

  • The condition resulted in a marked, localized overgrowth of facial soft tissues, bones, and teeth on the affected side.
  • This overgrowth caused significant facial asymmetry.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of recognizing and diagnosing true hemifacial hyperplasia in pediatric patients.
