Types of conditions or injuries Facial disfigurement can be congenital, but it can also be the result of illness or injuries. Below are some of the conditions for which Sunshine Foundation provides services. Congenital facial disfigurement: 1. Cheiloschisis: Better known as cleft lip. Cheiloschisis is a congenital facial deformity of the lip, usually the upper lip, due to a failure of merging in one or more of the embryologic processes that form the lip; it is frequently associated with cleft tooth socket and cleft palate. 2. Craniofacial deformity: •Microtia: A small, abnormally shaped or absent external ear. It can occur on one side only (called "unilateral") or on both sides (called "bilateral"). •Hemifacial microsomia: A condition in which the lower half of one side of the face is underdeveloped and does not grow normally. •Crouzon's Syndrome: A genetic disorder characterized by the premature joining of certain bones of the skull during development, which affects the shape of the head and face. Abnormal growth of these bones leads to wide-set, bulging eyes and vision problems caused by shallow eye sockets. •Apert syndrome: A condition characterized by specific malformations of the skull, midface, hands, and feet. The skull is prematurely fused and unable to grow normally; the midface appears retruded or sunken; and the fingers and toes are fused together in varying degrees. •Facial nerve atrophy •Facial nerve paralysis 3. Facial tumor: •Neurofibromatosis: A condition that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue, 　producing skin and bone abnormalities. •Hemangioma: An abnormal build up of blood vessels in the skin or internal 　organs. •Benign tumor •Malignant tumor 4. Skin diseases: •Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma: A hereditary skin disease characterized by diffuse chronic erythema (abnormal redness of the skin caused by capillary congestion) and the formation of thickened, scaly skin on the palms and soles, sometimes associated with ocular and neural changes. •Beauty mark •Birth mark •Malignant tumor: A potentially deadly skin disease that is usually the result of a drug reaction.
