Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Facial Features
Patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome will often have quite distinct facial features. Their eyebrows in particular can stand out quite significantly, with thick eyebrows that meet in the middle. The patient’s eyebrows will also be significantly curved in many cases. Patients with the condition will also often have unusually long eyelashes.
Patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome are also likely to have mouths that are downturned, and their upper lip will often be thinner than is usual. Their ears are often malformed and lower down than usual, while a cleft palate is also a possibility. The patient may also have a short nose that is upturned, as well as low hairlines at the front and the back.
