Micrognathia

Micrognathia

“Subjective finding of prominent upper lip and receding chin in the mid-sagittal view of the face. These findings may be due to micrognathia (short mandible) or retrognathia (backward displacement of the mandible).

Severe micrognathia is associated with polyhydramnios (>25 weeks’ gestation), due to glossoptosis (normal tongue obstructing small oral cavity).” [Source]
