Abstract : Otomandibular Auricular syndrome or Hemifacial Microsomia (HFM) is an asymmetric craniofacial malformation which results in hypoplasia of the components of the first and second branchial arches. HFM is the second most common congenital craniofacial anomaly after cleft lip/palate. The incidence of this disorder is 1:3000 26,000, which is usually seen at birth. Males are more commonly affected than females and right side is more affected than the left side. For the pre-surgical evaluation of this anomaly, diagnostic imaging and classification of the facial structures, based on OMENS classification, is of prime importance. The management of this developmental malformation is multidisciplinary. Here we report a case of Hemifacial Microsomia in a six-year-old female kid.
