About this trial

The field of artificial intelligence is booming in medicine and in the field of diagnosis. The data can be varied: x-rays, pathology sections, or photographs.

It is considered that 30 to 40% of the 7000 rare diseases described to date cause craniofacial dysmorphia. Their detection sometimes requires the trained eye of a geneticist, because certain phenotypic traits are subtle. These diagnostic difficulties and the fact that certain diseases are extremely uncommon lead to considerable diagnostic delays

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients followed in medical genetics,

Patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery, or craniofacial surgery as part of the management of a pathology, of genetic origin or not, associated with dysmorphism of the head and neck,

Patients for whom frontal and profile facial photographs are taken as part of their treatment.

Patients followed in maxillofacial surgery, for a disease other than a rare disease associated with dysmorphia in the head or neck: acute pathology (wound) or chronic (gynecomastia).

Disqualifiers

None
