Role of CT Imaging with Volume Reconstruction in Hemi Facial Hypertrophy: A Pediatric Case Report

Abstract

Hemifacial hypertrophy is a rare congenital disorder more common in males. It involves the soft tissue, hard bones and teeth of the face. Its etiology is unknown and multiple theories have been postulated. We present a 6-year-old male with hemifacial hypertrophy and describes the importance of CT volume reconstruction in this condition.
