Head and Neck Congenital Malformations

Marina Kos

Abstract

Congenital malformations of the head and neck are a wide and extremely heterogeneous group because this region contains parts of almost all organ systems. These malformations range in their importance and severity from purely cosmetic defects and minor disturbances to lethal anomalies. They can be isolated or occur as a component of a sequence, syndrome or chromosomal disorder. Some of them are inherited; however, most of them are caused by frequently unidentified teratogens.
