The contrasting condition, an enlarged chin, is called "macrogenia".[2] [3] [4]
There are seven different chin deformities:
Class I: Macrogenia (chin excess)
Class II: Microgenia (chin deficiency)
Class III: Combined excesses and deficiencies
Class IV: Assymmetric deformity
Class V: Witch's chin
Class VI: Pseudomacrogenia
Class VII: Pseudoretrogenia
Class II microgenia is the most commonly encountered chin deformity, followed by class II macrogenia.[5]
Can occur in anyone, but is often a sign of Down syndrome .[6] [7] [8]
