Bouche de Tapir
Bouche de Tapir
Patients with facioscapulohumeral (FSH) dystrophy have a peculiar and characteristic facies, with puckering of the lips when attempting to whistle. The pouting quality of the mouth, unlike that seen with other types of bilateral (neurogenic) facial weakness, has been likened to the face of the tapir (Tapirus sp.).
