Facies (medical)

Examples include: • Hippocratic facies – eyes are sunken, temples collapsed, nose is pinched with crusts on the lips, and the forehead is clammy • Moon face (also known as "Cushingoid facies") – Cushing's syndrome • Elfin facies – Williams syndrome, Donohue syndrome • Potter facies – oligohydramnios • Mask like facies – parkinsonism • Leonine facies – lepromatous leprosy or craniometaphyseal dysplasia • Mitral facies – mitral stenosis • Amiodarone facies (deep blue discoloration around malar area and nose) • Acromegalic facies – acromegaly • Flat facies – Down syndrome, Stickler syndrome, Binder syndrome • Marfanoid facies – Marfan's syndrome • Snarling facies – myasthenia gravis • Myotonic facies – myotonic dystrophy • Torpid facies – myxoedema • Mouse facies – chronic kidney failure • Plethoric facies – Cushing's syndrome and polycythemia vera • Bird facies – Pierre Robin sequence • Ashen grey facies – myocardial infarction • Gargoyle facies – Hurler's syndrome • Monkey facies – marasmus • Hatchet facies – myotonia atrophica • Gorilla-like face – acromegaly • Bovine facies (or cow face) – craniofacial dysostosis or Crouzon syndrome • Marshall halls facies – hydrocephalus • Frog face – intranasal disease • Coarse facies – many inborn errors of metabolism • Adenoid facies – developmental facial traits caused by adenoid hypertrophy, nasal airway obstruction and mouthbreathing; really a form of long face syndrome. • Lion-like facies – involvement of craniofacial bones in Paget disease of Bone • Chipmunk facies – beta thalassemia • Treacher Collins syndrome – deformities of the ears, eyes, cheekbones, and chin == Other disorders associated with syndromic facies ==

• Pitt–Hopkins syndrome • Beta thalassemia is associated with distinctive facial features due to ineffective erythropoiesis. The ineffective erythropoiesis causes marrow hyperplasia or expansion and bony changes, including the bones of the face; this causes craniofacial protrusions. • Mowat–Wilson syndrome • Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome • Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome ==See also==
