Abstract

Symmetry and proportion plays an important role in cosmetic part of face and golden ratio depicts a strong correlation between mathematical proportion of face and appearance. This can be affected by multiple factors including syndromes which contribute a significant role in craniofacial abnormalities. This paper intends to bring out the craniofacial manifestations of syndromes which play an essential role in diagnosis and more interestingly serve as a window to overall systemic health exploring the associated systemic manifestations.
