Q67.4: Other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw
The medical condition, "Other congenital deformities of skull, face, and jaw," refers to a variety of birth defects that affect the structure of a child's head, face, and jaw. These deformities occur when the baby is developing in the womb and can be caused by different factors, such as genetics or maternal environment. Depending on the specific deformity, symptoms can range from noticeable differences in the shape or size of the skull, face, or jaw, to problems with functions like eating, speaking, or breathing. In some cases, these deformities may be purely cosmetic while in others, they may have an impact on the development or health of the affected child. Please note that each specific deformity within this category can present uniquely and vary greatly in severity.
