RODRIGUEZ PUPO, Jorge Michel et al. Clinical, genetic, and neurophysiological main features in a newborn girl with Cayler Syndrome. ccm [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp. 177-183. ISSN 1560-4381.

Asymmetrical Crying Facies Syndrome, is caused by congenital hypolapsia or anguli oris agenesis. Patients usually present drop of the intact corner of their mouths while crying. Though it is easily diagnosed, it must be differentiated from traumatic or congenital facial palsies. This condition has been associated with several other anomalies, especially with heart issues. That´s why it is called Cayler Cardiofacial Syndrome. We have reported a case of a 56 hours newborn girl. She shows facial asymmetry as a valuable sign for suspecting other congenital anomalies. Clinical evaluation, including facial nerve electroneurography and electromyography, were performed.

Palavras-chave : facial asymmetry while crying; hypolapsia; agenesis; electroneurography; electroneurography.
