Congenital midface abnormalities

Daniel J G Baxter et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2011 Aug.

Abstract

There are a wide variety of congenital midface abnormalities that originate during transformation of the first pair of pharyngeal arches into adult structures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are important components in the comprehensive evaluation of these lesions. A detailed understanding of midface embryogenesis and developmental anatomy is important in directing appropriate patient management.
