Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by specific craniofacial deformities. A key feature of this condition is the underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or absence of the zygomatic complex, which are the cheekbones. This lack of support from the underdeveloped zygoma also causes the palpebral fissures (the opening between the eyelids) to slant downward, not upward. Other features include micrognathia (small jaw) and retrognathia (receding chin). Microstomia can occur, but poorly developed malar bones are a more consistently defining characteristic.
