Focal facial dermal dysplasia: report of a case with associated cardiac defects.

Abstract

Focal facial dermal dysplasia is characterized by congenital scar-like depressions on both temples and a wide spectrum of associated facial abnormalities. We report a 2-month-old white boy who presented with bitemporal defects, laterally deficient eyebrows, absent lower eyelashes, periorbital puffiness, a bulbous nasal tip with prominent sebaceous hyperplasia, and down-turned corners of the mouth. In addition, he had tetralogy of Fallot, an association which previously has not been described.
