Published: December 2023

Short face syndrome (SFS) is a condition with a clinical impression of deficient lower anterior facial height, which is an esthetic disharmony based on vertical facial proportions rather than absolute dimensions. Masseter hypertrophy is one of the etiologic factors in which there is an enlargement of unilateral or bilateral masseter muscles. Clinically, it presents as a quadrangular face characterized by bulging of the mandibular angle giving a muscular appearance. Despite the muscular origin, surgery should be aimed toward bony reduction (osteoplasty) followed by supplemented myotomy. This case report addresses one such case of SFS treated with surgery-first approach and supplemented myotomy with a 1-year follow-up. The esthetic facial profile, pleasant smile and overall good treatment outcome remained stable 1 year after orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment.

The explosive growth of mobile data traffic and the demands of 6 G networks for ultra-high data rates and low latency necessitate advanced infrastructure solutions. One promising approach is the implementation of radio-over-fiber (RoF)-based distributed antenna systems (DAS), which can efficiently transmit radio frequency signals over optical fiber, especially in dense indoor environments. However, analog RoF systems face challenges, including noise, nonlinearities, and power fading caused by chromatic dispersion.
