Treacher Collins syndrome ( TCS ) is a rare, serious congenital malformation that mainly affects craniofacial structures, and the incidence of this syndrome is one in every 50 000 births. Craniofacial rehabilitation in patients with TCS generally includes zygomatic‐orbital and maxillomandibular reconstruction. This article describes a case of TCS in which zygomatic‐orbital reconstruction was performed with a third‐generation, biphasic, micro–macro porous bioceramic composed of hydroxyapatite and beta‐tricalcium phosphate. This method proved to be a viable alternative to autogenous grafts and led to a satisfactory aesthetic outcome.
