An asymmetrical crying facies due to hypoplasia or absence of the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAOM) was observed in 23 infants and children. The cases were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 12 patients who had associated cardiac abnormalities. In group 2 were 11 patients who either had other non-cardiac abnormalities (6) or no other abnormalities (5). The associated cardiac anomalies recorded in the literature are reviewed and 2 infants in this series are reported with abnormalities not previously described. The results of chromosomal analysis have generally been found to be normal, although a patient in our series was found to have trisomy E (18). The incidence of hypoplasia of the DAOM in newborn infants in a maternity hospital hospital is assessed and was found to be lower than reported in other studies. It is concluded that a detailed and careful examination for congenital abnormalities should be carried out on every child with an asymmetrical crying facies.
