| facial angle | Any of several variously named and variously defined anatomical angle's that have been used to quantify facial protrusion, in dentistry, the angle formed by the intersection of the orbitomeatal (Frankfort) plane with the nasion-pogonion line (inner lower angle), which establishes the anteroposterior relation of the mandible to the upper face at the orbitomeatal plane. Synonym: Frankfort-mandibular incisor angle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| facial diplegia | Paralysis of both sides of the face. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial eczema | A photosensitivity disease of sheep in New Zealand associated with ingestion of plants during periods when autumn rains produce lush growth following seasons of dryness and close grazing; the predisposing cause is hepatic disease, which results from toxins of the fungus Pithomyces chartarum, which grows on the plants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial eminence | Prominent portion of the medial eminence, just rostral to the medullary striae in the rhomboidal fossa; it is formed by the internal genu of the facial nerve and the abducens nucleus around which the facial fibres curve. Synonym: colliculus facialis, abducens eminence, eminentia abducentis, eminentia facialis, facial eminence, facial hillock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial expression | Observable changes of expression in the face in response to emotional stimuli. (12 Dec 1998) |
