Identify NAMED FACIES:
(All contest photographs are taken from Davidson/Macleod/Hutchisons/Abdullah text book)
1 FLAT FACE:
Flat nasal bridge and protruded tongue with Opened small mouth, almond shaped eyes(due to epicanthal folds), and upward slanting eyes(seen in 1a), light-colored spots in their eyes (called Brushfield spots),low set small ears, hypertelorism(increased distance between two orbits), high arched palate with small teeth, idiotic look.
1a was a clue for diagnosis, i.e other than facial features, single palmar crease (also known as Simian crease-মজার ব্যাপার হচ্ছে এটা বলা যাবে না, কারণ মানুষের হাতে সাধারণত তিনটা রেখা থাকে, বানর গোত্রীয় প্রাণীদের হাতে একটা রেখা থাকে, Simian crease এর বদলে single palmar crease বলতে হবে, বিজ্ঞান বিবর্তনবাদের বানর থেকে মানুষ প্রমাণ করে দিচ্ছে অথচ Simian crease বলাটা অপমানজনক মনে করছে)। Widely separated 1st and 2nd toe is also diagnostic.
Diagnosis: Down’s Syndrome
{Down’s Syndrome is important for 1st prof Anatomy Written(Genetics+Embryology), 2nd Prof Pathology Written(Again Genetics), Final Prof(Medicine+Pediatrics), FCPS part 1 MCQ(all subject Basic part), MRCP part 1(Clinical Science section),MD residency/M.phil admission test MCQ(Basic part), খাঁটি বাংলায় বাবা না পড়ে যাবা কই, না পড়লে কোথাও না কোথাও ডাউন সিন্ড্রোম ডাউন দিবে :P}
2 MONGOLOID FACE:
Frontal bossing, depressed bridge of the nose, hypertelorism, malar prominence, dental malocclusion, mild icterus, pallor. It is also called Chimpunk Facies.
Diagnosis: Hereditary Haemolytic Anemia(Beta-Thalassaemia Major)
{Thalassaemia Major is important for 1st Prof Physiology Viva (Hematology), 2nd prof Pathology Viva (Hematology), Final Prof *Medicine (SAQ-Clinical Scenario,Long Case,Short Case-Splenomegally), Pediatrics (SAQ-Clinical Scenario), both Under grad+Post grad-Genetic Counseling OSCE}
*Confusion Breaker: Thalassaemia ছাড়াও Down Syndrome এর Face কেও MONGOLOID FACE বলা হয়, যাঁদের বা যে অসুখের কারণে চোখে Epicanthal Fold থাকে তাঁদের সবাইকেই MONGOLOID FACE বলে। চাইনিজ/থাই/জাপানিজ এদের সবারই MONGOLOID FACE।
3 FACIES LEONINA:
Lion like appearance, prominent ridges and furrows of forehead and cheeks. Widespread nodule and infiltration with loss of eye brows and early collapse of nose.

{Leprosy is important for 2nd Prof Microbiology Written, Final Prof Medicine Written+Viva}
4 MASKED FACE:
Mask like expressionless face with less blinks of the eye, fixed and apathetic look(Stare look/Serpentine stare) dribbling of saliva.
Serpentine Stare-এ অসুখে চোখের পলক ফেলা স্বাভাবিকের চেয়ে এত কমে আসে যে মনে হয় রোগীর চোখের পাতাই নেই (সাপের চোখের পাতা থাকে না)। মানুষ সাধারণত মিনিটে গড়ে দশ বার বা প্রতি ২-৮ সেকেন্ডে একবার পলক ফেলে, Parkinson’s Disease এ চোখের পলকের হার কমে, আবার SCIZOPHRENIA তে বাড়ে। একটা স্ন্যাপ দেখে MASKED FACE বলা কঠিন তাই Parkinson’s Diseaseএর সবচেয়ে বিখ্যাত রোগী বক্সার মোহাম্মদ আলীর বিভিন্ন সময় তোলা কিছু স্ন্যাপ গুগল থেকে দেয়া হলো। 
Diagnosis: Parkinson’s Disease {Parkinson’s Disease is important for 2nd Prof Pharmacology Written, Final Prof Medicine Viva(Neurology)}
5 MALAR RASH(LUPUS FACIES)
Butterfly distribution of Rashes
Diagnosis: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
SLE নিয়ে অনেক মিথ চালু আছে, ক্ল্যাসিকাল Sign Symptoms এর বাইরেও যে কোন অস্বাভাবিক FEATURE নিয়ে Present করতে পারে। ল্যাটিন শব্দ LUPUS এর মানে নেকড়ে, “Erythro” মানে লাল, নেকড়ের কামড়ে লাল? ফ্রান্সের মহিলারা এই Rash ঢাকতে যে মুখোশ ব্যবহার করতো তার নাম ছিল “Loup” ফ্রেঞ্চ ভাষায় যার মানেও নেকড়েই। নেকড়ে না প্রজাপতি নিয়ে আমরা যেরকম confused, Postgraduation এ মেডিসিনের কোন রোগীর ডায়াগনসিস নিয়ে কোন কনফিউশন হলে SLE ধরে চিকিৎসা শুরু করা হয়। 
{SLE is important for Final Prof Medicine SAQ-Clinical Scenario, Viva}
*** Confusion Breaker: Mitral Facies/Malar Rash Vs Butterfly Rash Rosy Coloration of cheeks(duo to vascular stasis) with bluish tinge(duo to arteriovenous anastomosis).

n.b: রোগীর সাথে ফোনে ১০ সেকেন্ড পালসে কথা বলে আর ৫ সেকেন্ডে হ্যান্ড শেক করে এ রোগ ডায়াগনসিস করতে শার্লক হোমস বা ডাঃ বিধান চন্দ্র হতে হবে না, বলেন তো কেনো?
