The “palmomental” symptom is a pathological condition that occurs with developmental anomalies and damage to the facial skeleton. This condition is characterized by an unusual shape of the upper jaw and chin, which can be either flat or rounded. Symptoms can appear in both childhood and adulthood.
Why is this happening? The palmomenal symptom occurs due to hereditary factors, genetic predisposition, as well as trauma to the maxillofacial area in childhood. Since these reasons are due to processes occurring in the body at the embryonic stage, the symptom most often appears in men. However, there are cases of the formation of this chin shape in women. The anomaly appears in infancy under the influence of unfavorable factors: stress, hypoxia, congenital pathologies of the fetus. All these factors lead to premature labor. If excessive mechanical stress is placed on the fetus, embryogenesis fails. When to Look for Palmomental Symptom Since the symptoms can affect millions of people around the world, most experience them without any health complications. However, the symptom may be associated with some common conditions, including: - Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint - this defect can cause a palmomental symptom. This term refers to stiffness of the jaw joint and prevents normal movement of the lower jaw.
