AB Malformations  of  the  face  and  skull  represent  a  large  portion  of  structural  malformations  in  humans.  These  malformations  can  carry  significant  morbidity  and  often  require  surgical  management  within  the  first  few  months  of  life.  Many  children  with  craniofacial  malformations  are  managed  by  multidisciplinary  teams  that  often  include  an  audiologist,  dietician,  geneticist,  neurosurgeon,  nurse  coordinator,  pediatrician,  oral  and  maxillofacial  surgeon,  orthodontist,  otolaryngologist,  plastic/reconstructive  surgeon,  social  worker,  and  speech  pathologist.  This  chapter  presents  the  major  types  of  craniofacial  malformations,  their  classification,  heredity,  and  suggested  management.
