Abstract
Sacral Dimples take place in both gender with no specific preponderance, and may state unilaterally or bilaterally and are genetically inherited as a dominant trait. Besides the most seen dimples in our face, buccal and mental; rarely inferior to the level of anguli oris, fovea inferior anguli oris can also be seen. Bilateral dimples have been found on a 20-year-old female medical student which appeared in the alignment of her mouth corners and below 17.49 mm when she was laughing. This dimple was named as fovea inferior anguli oris in our article. Additionally there was fovea buccalis in her right cheek. There was a dimple background in the student’s family. Her grandmother had the same bilateral dimples while the mother had bilateral fovea buccalis. Fovea inferior anguli oris occurs as congenital in the interception points of m. orbicularis oris, m. depressor anguli oris and m. depressor labii inferioris muscles. The frequency of occurrence is unknown.
