A case of hemifacial microsomia is presented. The mandible, temporomandibular joint, zygomatic arch and temporal region were reconstructed by means of skull bone grafts when the patient was 6 years old, a relatively early age. This corrective surgery has effectively restored normal mandibular function, and in so doing may encourage more acceptable development of the affected facial structures.
