Hemifacial microsomia is a common birth defect involving first and second branchial arch derivatives. The phenotype is highly variable. In addition to craniofacial anomalies, there may be cardiac, vertebral, and central nervous system defects. Most cases are sporadic, but there are rare familial cases that exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance.
