Abstract
Focal facial dermal dysplasia is the preferred designation for an inherited disorder characterized by congenital scarlike lesions on the temples. Review of the literature reveals a spectrum of associated facial anomalies that cannot be clearly divided into discrete clinical syndromes. To reconcile the apparent genetic diversity of previously reported cases, we postulate autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. An isolated case of a 4 1/2-month-old infant with typical bitemporal markings and otherwise normal facies is described.
