Surco nasolabial corto
Definición:
El surco nasolabial se define por dos crestas ligeras en la piel que van de la nariz hasta el labio superior y se considera corto cuando presenta una distancia menor a la normal.
Consideraciones generales:
Los rasgos faciales son caracterÃsticas impuestas por la herencia genética. Las anomalÃas genéticas pueden predisponer a los individuos a cambios en los rasgos. La longitud del surco nasolabial, que es el surco de la lÃnea media en el labio superior que va desde la parte superior del labio a la nariz, está determinada genéticamente. En algunos sÃndromes dicho surco es corto.
Causas comunes:
- SÃndrome de Cohen
- SÃndrome oral-facial-digital (OFD)
