  2. MandibulofacialDysostosis OR Teacher Collins Syndrome

  3. Is a rare congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial deformities, such as absent cheekbones. The typical physical features include downward slanting eyes, micrognathia (a small lower jaw), conductive hearing loss, underdeveloped cheekbones, drooping part of the lateral lower eyelids, and malformed or absent ears.

  4. The incidence of this syndrome is 1 in 50,000 live births. The presentation of symptoms in people with Teacher Collins Syndrome varies. Some individuals may be so mildly affected that they remain undiagnosed, others can have severe facial involvement and life-threatening airway compromise.

  5. Wonder is the story of a boy born with these abnormalities.
