Abstract
-
Asymmetric crying face is caused by unilateral weakness of the depressor muscles of lower lip, which is most obvious during crying and is associated with other congenital anomalies, especially congenital heart disease. We experienced a case of asymmetric crying face after cesarean delivery in mother with hyperthyroidism and present it with a brief review of literature.
