His parents are first-degree cousins with 4 living normal siblings. His birth weight was appropriate for his gestational age. His initial neonatal assessment was normal apart from facial asymmetry during crying in the form of deviation of the angle of the mouth to the left with an otherwise normal facial appearance. The facial asymmetry disappears at rest (without crying). This condition usually poses a diagnostic dilemma. Developmental and traumatic facial paralysis and being part of some syndromes like Mobius and CHARGE syndromes are among the most important differential diagnosis but the disappearance of the facial asymmetry at rest is diagnostic of absent DAOM which is a relatively common but missed diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
