Patient's question:
Today a colleague said that her friend's child has adenoid facies. It is said that it is very ugly. What is adenoid facies?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the so-called adenoid face refers to a facial appearance caused by adenoid hypertrophy leading to impaired facial bone development, resulting in elongated jawbones, high-arched palates, misaligned teeth, protruding upper incisors, thick lips, and a lack of expression. It can also be referred to as an "idiopathic face," and once it forms, it is difficult to recover.
