Maxillofacial prosthetic management of an auricular defect for a young patient with hemifacial microsomia: a clinical report.

Facial anomalies in hemifacial microsomia patients may have significant psychosocial impact even from a very young age. The management and fabrication of an auricular prosthesis replacement supported by endosseous craniofacial implants for a young patient with Goldenhar-Gorlin Syndrome has been reported. It is beneficial for the defects of a hemifacial microsomia patient to be managed as early as possible, consistent with the patient's ability to manage the prosthesis.
