Abstract
Background: Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is classified using the subjective orbit, mandible, ear, nerve, and soft tissue (OMENS) tool. Digital stereophotogrammetry (ie, 3-dimensional [3D] photography) can be used to capture facial shape objectively. This case-control study assessed the applicability of 3D photography in distinguishing between patients with CFM and individuals without a craniofacial condition, as well as classifying the severity of facial involvement.
Methods: The 3D photographs of patients with CFM or microtia from Amsterdam UMC, Radboudumc, or Great Ormond Street Hospital, and of individuals without craniofacial conditions, were assessed. Differences between patients and controls were explored through asymmetry index (ASI) and facial signature (FS) scores, as well as principal components analysis of FS scores and logistic regression. Correlations between OMENS scores and ASI, FS, and principal components scores were evaluated.
Results: A total of 179 patients and 210 controls were analyzed. ASI and FS scores differed significantly between patients and controls ( P < 0.001), and were correlated with several OMENS subscales. The logistic regression model distinguishing between patients and controls showed increasing asymmetry of the mandible and orbits with increasing Pruzansky-Kaban score. Patients with isolated microtia deviated from controls in the midface.
Conclusion: Clinically significant differences in the facial morphology of patients with CFM and microtia were found compared with controls, suggesting that 3D photography can be used to assess the severity of facial involvement in a novel, objective, and safe way in these patients.
Clinical question/level of evidence: Diagnostic, IV.
期刊介绍：
For more than 70 years Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® has been the one consistently excellent reference for every specialist who uses plastic surgery techniques or works in conjunction with a plastic surgeon. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® , the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is a benefit of Society membership, and is also available on a subscription basis.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® brings subscribers up-to-the-minute reports on the latest techniques and follow-up for all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction, experimental studies, maxillofacial reconstruction, hand and microsurgery, burn repair, cosmetic surgery, as well as news on medicolegal issues. The cosmetic section provides expanded coverage on new procedures and techniques and offers more cosmetic-specific content than any other journal. All subscribers enjoy full access to the Journal''s website, which features broadcast quality videos of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, podcasts, comprehensive article archives dating to 1946, and additional benefits offered by the newly-redesigned website.
