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 bi temporal 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 des cribed.
