| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To review current information on craniofacial growth of unoperated patients with craniofacial malformations and stimulate the study of abnormal craniofacial growth through conventional and newer methods. This will lead to improved diagnosis and the understanding of the etiopathogenesis of craniofacial malformations. It is expected that this knowledge will also assist clinicians in planning treatment strategies to better manage these challenging conditions. |
