Microstomia is a small mouth. It is a feature of many craniofacial syndromes, including Freeman-Sheldon syndrome and Sheldon-Hall syndromes (or distal arthrogryposis multiplex congenita). It may present with whistling-face feature, as well, as in Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. In this syndrome, it imp...
Most common diseases
Systemic Scleroderma
These findings suggest that regular application of the proposed exercise program may be useful in the management of microstomia in SSD patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In cases of microstomia due to scleroderma, increased levels of orbicularis oris muscle tension is observed 1,7. [prime-journal.com]
Abstract Scleroderma is a disorder involving oral and facial tissues, with skin hardening, thin lips, deep wrinkles, xerostomia, tongue rigidity, and microstomia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Schwartz-Jampel Syndrome
The main clinical features of this syndrome include generalized myotonic myopathy, skeletal dysplasia, blepharophimosis, microstomia, contracture of joints and short stature [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] is an autosomal recessive trait characterized by mask-like face, narrow palpebral fissures (due to blepharophimosis, blepharospasm, and abnormal orbital configuration), microstomia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The combination of skeletal and muscular abnormalities may result in oro-dental manifestations such as atypical facies, with micrognathia, microstomia, pursed lips, crossbite [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Trisomy 18
Note microphthalmia, micrognathia/retrognathia, microstomia, low set/malformed ears, short sternum, and abnormal clenched fingers. [web.archive.org]
It is characterized growth retardation, microcephaly, microphthalmia, ocular hypertelorism, ptosis, microstomia, distinctively clenched fingers and other congenital malformations [symptoma.com]

Down Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to summarize the experience on prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study includes a retrospective data analysis of 157 prenatally detected cases of Down syndrome, routinely diagnosed among 6448 prenatal investigations performed during a 13-year[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Velocardiofacial Syndrome
The main manifestations of our patient were feeding difficulties, respiratory infections, short stature, peculiar face with hypertelorism, prominent nose, abnormal ears, microstomia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome
In this report, we describe a case of microstomia associated with club feet and ulnar deviation of the hands (Freeman-Sheldon syndrome) and the surgical technique for correction [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The majority of these patients have microstomia and dental crowding, making oral hygiene difficult and increasing the risk of caries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Presence of microstomia is always associated with practical difficulties of oral hygiene maintenance and increased susceptibility to caries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The indications of brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in fetal alcohol syndrome are not clearly defined, even though the condition is recognized as one of the most common causes of mental retardation. This article reports a case of a 9-year-old adopted girl with developmental delay, mildly[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Auriculocondylar Syndrome
The patient had severe micrognathia, large cheeks, microstomia, and overfolded helices with a large postauricular tag on her left ear. [gepedia.com]

Last updated April 30, 2018 Auriculo-Condylar Syndrome (ACS) presents with bilateral external ear malformations ('Question Mark' Ears), mandibular condyle hypoplasia, microstomia [dovemed.com]
Hypomandibular Faciocranial Dysostosis
A severe microstomia and micrognathia were detected by ultrasound at 31 weeks of gestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] is a cranial malformation characterized by facial dysmorphism (proptosis, frontal bossing, midface and zygomatic arches hypoplasia, short nose with anteverted nostrils, microstomia [malacards.org]
