Coarse facial features or coarse facies describes a constellation of facial features that are present in many inborn errors of metabolism.Features include:
large, bulging head
prominent scalp veins
"saddle-like, flat bridged nose with broad, fleshy tip"
large lips and tongue
small, widely spaced and/or malformed teeth
hypertrophic alveolar ridges and/or gumsHeads tend to be longer than normal from front to back, with a bulging forehead. This is because of the earlier than normal or premature fusion of skull bones in an affected individual. [Source: Wikipedia ]
