Plastic Surgery on Congenital Diseases: Common Congenital Problems in the Head and Neck Regions
Pang SSY
Department of Surgery, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong
Congenital head and neck problems consist of a variety of conditions affecting the skin, musculoskeletal system, vascular
system and nervous system. From commonly seen pathologies such as pre-auricular sinus, sebaceous nevus, nevus of Ota,
to rarer and more complicated conditions like hemifacial microsomia, craniofacial syndromes, plastic surgeons deal with
both functional deficit and aesthetic aspects of patients. Some conditions require multi-disciplinary treatment and long-
term follow-up as paediatric patients are different from adult patients in growth and development. In this presentation, the
spectrum of congenital head and neck problems and treatment outcome in our daily practice will be introduced.
