The Management of Craniofacial Anomalies—a Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach

Dear Colleagues,

The craniofacial region is a complex area and important component of the human anatomy. Multiple functions of cognitive understanding, perception, visualization, gestation, nutrition, and jaw articulation occur in this region. It is also an area where the human person is perceived and provides confidence and self-esteem. About 1% of all newborns are potentially born with a craniofacial anomaly or deformity. In addition, other forms of craniofacial anomalies maybe acquired after birth or detected after growth-related disorders. Due to the complex nature of the anatomy, the anomalies of the craniofacial region need to be managed by a multi-disciplinary group of healthcare providers, and the treatments often span decades of life. This journal Issue focuses on some of the multi-disciplinary team approaches and also the latest clinical best practices.
