Abstract Lateral facial dysplasia is the most frequently encountered form of isolated facial asymmetry, affecting approximately one in 5,000 births and ranking second only to cleft lip and palate as the most common facial anomaly. It is a congenital malformation with deficiency in the amount of hard and soft tissue on one side of the face, with underdevelopment of the temporomandibular joint, mandibular ramus, masticatory muscles and the ear.
