Micrognathia in an infant
Micrognathia in an infant
When viewing an infant from the side, an imaginary line may be drawn parallel to the face at the level of the maxilla (dotted line). In an infant with a normal airway, the mandible will approach this line. A mandible that is recessed well below this line, as shown by the arrow here, is a sign of micrognathia and a potentially difficult airway.
