A type of face shape characterized by a narrow chin and wide forehead

A triangular face is a type of facial shape characterized by a wide forehead and a narrow chin. This face shape is often associated with certain genetic disorders and can be a feature in various syndromes.

Characteristics

A triangular face typically features a broad forehead that tapers down to a pointed chin. This shape can give the face a distinctive appearance, often described as "heart-shaped" or "inverted triangle." The cheekbones may be prominent, and the jawline is usually narrow.

Associated Conditions

Triangular face shapes can be associated with several medical conditions, including:

Microcephaly: A condition where a person has a smaller than normal head size, which can affect the overall shape of the face.
Noonan syndrome: A genetic disorder that can cause distinctive facial features, including a triangular face.
Russell-Silver syndrome: A growth disorder that can result in a triangular face shape due to a small, pointed chin.

Cultural Perceptions

In some cultures, a triangular face is considered attractive and is often associated with youthfulness and femininity. In cosmetic surgery, procedures may be performed to enhance or alter the face shape to achieve a more triangular appearance.

-'''Toceranib''' (also known as '''Palladia''') is a [[tyrosine kinase inhibitor]] used in the treatment of [[cancer]] in dogs. It is specifically used for the treatment of [[mast cell tumors]], which are a type of skin cancer. Toceranib works by blocking the action of certain proteins that are involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.
