This is a description previously used to describe a facial form characterized by a short, upturned nose, wide mouth, widely spaced eyes, and full cheeks. Because of the imprecision in this definition it is preferable to describe these features precisely. This term is retained because it was often used in the past, but it should not be used for new annotations. (Human Phenotype Ontology, HP_0004428)
