The cervical cystic hygroma involving the entire craniofacial skeleton is attributed <br />to both local and distant effects on the dentofacial structure. Here we are reporting a case report on cystic hygroma having <br />a secondary effect on the dentoalveolar structure, providing information on potential complications of cystic hygroma and <br />the treatment needed.
