Triangular face

A triangular face, in the simplest sense, is a face whose lower half becomes relatively thin, approaching an appearance of a triangle with a tip facing downwards. It is not necessarily caused by any disease, but is common in individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta.

In a broader sense, triangular face encompasses a constellation of a hypoplastic face with prominent zygomatic arches, orbital hypertelorism, sunken cheeks, down-turned mouth, and occasionally brownish facial discolouration. This constellation is characteristic of Mulibrey nanism, but has also been described in Russell-Silver syndrome and Turner syndrome. An example of a celebrity who has a triangular face is Aj Shabeel.
