Unlabelled: Asymmetric crying facies (ACF) due to Congenital hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle (CHDAOM) is a rare congenital condition that affects the development of a specific facial muscle responsible for depressing the corner of the mouth. CHDAOM has an unknown aetiology but is associated with other genetic syndromes like DiGeorge syndrome and Cayler cardiofacial syndrome. We report a distinct case of a newborn with unilateral asymmetric crying facies at our hospital, and clinical features, examination, and management of the above condition.The overarching goal is to enhance awareness, understanding, and management of CHDAOM, ultimately improving the lives of those affected by it.

Congenital hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle (CHDAOM) is a relatively uncommon condition that causes asymmetric crying facies (ACF) in newborns. Although it primarily presents as a cosmetic issue, it could have implications in clinical practice. We report a case involving a seven-month-old girl who presented with asymmetric crying and other related clinical features.

The VACTERL (vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities) association represents an enigmatic syndrome requiring further study. This report describes a full-term neonate born to a multiparous woman who was found, upon further examination, to have multiple congenital abnormalities, including a bicuspid aortic valve, patent foramen ovale, tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), asymmetric crying facies, microphallus, and a single inguinal testis. The discussion explores environmental and genetic factors that may contribute to this association, as well as similar conditions, such as CHARGE (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth retardation, genital abnormalities, and ear abnormalities) syndrome.

Background: Congenital hypoplasia of the depressor labii inferioris muscle can lead to Asymmetrical crying facies(ACF). The objective of this research was to examine the alterations in both static and dynamic facial symmetry following the resection of the depressor labii inferioris on the healthy side through an intraoral approach.
Methods: Patients exhibiting palsy of the depressor labii inferioris muscles were included in the study.
