7. Congential Disorders Flashcards
Define a syndrome
group of medical signs and symptoms that are correlated to each other
Etiology of most syndromes is
genetics
How are syndromes names (now v.s past)
Past
-Named by the scientist that discovered it
Now
-Named by etiology
Most syndromes are autosomal (dominant/recessive)
dominant
T/F genetic mutations can have different phenotypic expressions
t
What is the second most common congenital physical birth defects
cleft lip and palate
Describe the differences in race with cleft lip and palate incidence
Asians> Whites> Blacks
2:1000)>(1:1000)>(0.5:1000
Describe the difference in cleft lip/palate between genders
CL +/- P –> M>F
CP alone –> F>M
Which is more commonly associated with syndromes when alone (cleft lip/cleft palate)
cleft palate
Likelihood that a mother with cleft lip/palate has a child with it
15%
likelihood that if 1 child has a cleft lip/palate so will the 2nd
4%
likelihood that if 2 children have a cleft lip/palate so will the next
9%
T/F Majority of cases of CL/CP are familial
F sporadic
T/F Environmental conditions (i.e smoking) have been linked to CL/CP
T- Mother smoking when pregnant, anticonvulsants, alcohol, etc.
When does lip and palate development occur
4-8 weeks in utero
The frontonasal prominance gives rise to
medial and lateral nasal prominances
Maxillary and mandibular prominances are derived from
neural crest cells from the first pharyngeal arch
Primary and Secondary palate formaiton
Primary Palate Formation
- Premaxilla
- Medial palatal shelves fuse
Secondary palate
- Posterior to incisive foramen
- Develops from 6-12 weeks
- Fusion of lateral palatal shelves
How does a cleft lip form
failure of fusion between the medial nasal process and maxilary prominance
How does a cleft alveolus form
failure of fusion between the medial and lateral palatine processes
How does a cleft palate form
Failure of fusion between the lateral palatal shelves
Veau classification of cleft lip
I= Noticing at vermillion boarder not extending into the lip II= Extends through the lip but not through the floor of the nose III= Extends into the floor of the nose IV= Bilateral
Veau Classification of the Cleft Palate
I= Soft palate only II= Soft and hard palate but not alveolous III= S+H palate and alveolus IV= Bilateral alveolar process involvement
Treatment phases for cleft lip and palate
0-6 mo
- Primary lip repair
- Presurgical orthodontitis??
12-18 mo.
-Primary palatal repair
12mo-6 yrs
- Prophylaxis and routine exams
- Speech surgery ??
- Secondary lip/palatal survery revision??
6-12 y/o
- Palatal expansion and alveolar grafe surgery?
- Phase I ortho?
- Protraction headgear?
12-18 y/o
- Phase II ortho
- Orthognathic surgery
18+ y.o
- Definitive prosthetic work??
- Definitive speech surgery??
- Definitive lip/nose/scar revision??
What is craniosynostosis
Premature closing of one or more cranial suture
Results from craniosynostosis
- Abnormal skull/forehead shape
- Asymmetrical eyes/ears
- Increased intracranial pressure
Syndromes associated with craniosynostosis
-Crouzon’s and alpert’s syndrome
What syndromes are assocaited with cleft palate
- Pierre Robine Sequence
- Digorge/ Velo-Cardio-Facial/ 22 deletion syndrome
- Mandibulofacial dysostosis
- Alpert’s syndrome
Tx for craniosynostosis
surgery in infancy to separate suture and reshape the bones
