Résumé
Facial asymmetry when crying at birth (then called asymmetric crying facies or ACF) or when smiling or speaking loudly in adulthood is the consequence of the agenesis or hypoplasia of the muscle of one of the labial commissures. This developmental disorder of complex mechanism is well known by pediatricians to be a warning sign for underlying developmental disorders of variable severity.
