In short
Craniofacial abnormalities are birth defects of the face or head, which is a medical term relating to the bones of the skull and face. Some of these conditions, such as cleft lip and palate, are among the most common of all birth defects, while others are very rare. Most of these abnormalities affect how a person's face or head looks, and they may also affect other parts of the body. Treatment depends on the type of problem, and plastic and reconstructive surgery may help the person's appearance.

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.
Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.
Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.
In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
