Craniofacial Disorders

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Treacher-Collins pattern of craniofacial features:   malformed auricle (hearing loss), down-slanting palpebral fissures; colobomas of the lower eyelids (partially absent eyelashes); facial bone hypoplasia (micrognathia)  
🗑
IQ and TCS   normal intelligence  
🗑
Additional features of TCS   choanal atresia; pharyngeal hypoplasia; CP can be U shaped (Pierre Robin sequence); Tissue tags or blind fistulae between tragus and mouth; microstomia; congenital heart defect; crytorchidism; coloboma  
🗑
Quick facts on TCS   1/10,000-50,000 LBs, AD, TCOF1 mutation at 5q32-33.1 (150 different mutations)  
🗑
TCOF1 codes for protein   treacle  
🗑
Genotype does not predict phenotype for TCS...   variable expression is seen and reduced penetrance can occur  
🗑
Dx for TCS   Gene sequencing confirms 90-95% of cases; prenatal US may see polyhydramnis, microcephaly; slanting forehead; micropthalmos; micrognathia  
🗑
Medical management for TCS patients   Craniofacial team; CT scan; CP repair; maxilomandibular reconstruction; zygomatic/orbital reconstruction; external ear reconstruction; dental assessment; bilteral ear canal reconstruction  
🗑
Differential DX with TCS   Goldenhar, Miller, Nager, Pierre Robin, Nonsyndromic manidibular hypoplasia  
🗑
Robin Sequence is caused by...   hypoplasia of the mandible, placing the tongue posteriorly. This prevents closure and fusion of the palate and results in a wide, u-shaped cleft palate and obstructed upper airway  
🗑
micrognathia leads to...   posteriorly located tongue  
🗑
posteriorly located tongue leads to...   cleft palate and obstructed airway  
🗑
The majority of PRS cases occur...   with multiple-anomaly syndromes  
🗑
PRS occurs in how many live births?   ~1/2000  
🗑
PRS is often secondarily dx to...   Stickler syndrome, VCFS, Trisomies 13, 18; Cornelia de Lange; Escobar syndrome; TCS, Nager, Miller, etc.  
🗑
Polyhydramnios occurs in what % of PRS pregnancies   60%  
🗑
Mandibles growth is largely in what trimester?   3rd  
🗑
Management and Treatment of PRS   Craniofacial team including ENT and speech therapist; do not lay baby on his/her back!; tracheostromy may be necessary in severe cases; feeding tube; etc.  
🗑
Stickler Syndrome   Flat facies, myopia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia  
🗑
Abnormalities in Stickler syndrome: Orofacial   Flat facies; depressed nasal bridge; prominent eyes; epicanthal folds; short nose with anteverted nares; midfacial/mandibular hypoplasia; CP; hearing loss; dental porblems  
🗑
Abnormalities in Stickler syndrome: Ocular   nonprogressive myopia; spontaneous retinal detachment; congenital vitreous anomaly; presenile cataracts; lens dislocation; strabismus; glaucoma; blindness;  
🗑
Abnormalities in Stickler syndrome: muscoloskeletal   Hypotonia; joint hyperflexibility; large joints; subluxation of hip; long bones with narrow shafts; osteoarthritis (30s); arachnodactyly; scholiosis; marfanoid-habitus; pectus excavatum  
🗑
AD Stickler syndrome genes   COL2A1, COL11A1, COL11AZ  
🗑
AR Stickler syndrome genes   COLD9A1  
🗑
Stickler syndrome is what type of disorder?   Connective tissue  
🗑
