Ch 1 - Developmental Defects 2 Flashcards
_______ is a rare oral anomaly characterized by a redundant fold of tissue on the mucosal side of the lip?
double lip
What are the three features of Ascher syndrome?
- double lip 2.Blepharochalasis (recurring upper eyelid edema) 3. Nontoxic thyroid enlargment
Is double lip in Ascher syndrome congenital or aquired?
aquired
When is double lip visible? At rest or smiling? Which lip is more often affected?
smiling…upper lip
What is the ‘suggested’ inheritance pattern of Ascher syndrome? What % of Ascher patients have nontoxic thyroid enlargment?
AD…50% (then why is it part of the triad if only half the patient’s get it?)
______ are sebaceous glands that occur on the
oral mucosa. What % of the population has them?
Fordyce granules…80%, so its a variant of normal anatomy as opposed to ectopic glands
Fordyce granuals: which age group and what spurs their growth?
adults…hormonal changes in puberty
__________ presents as a diffuse, gray-white, milky, opalescent appearance of the mucosa. It occurs more commonly in Blacks ( what % range?)
Leukoedema…(70-90% of Blacks)
What can the clinician do to check if an area is leukoedema? What are two unique locations for leukoedema (besides buccal mucosa)?
evert and stretch the mucosa - the white should diminish (always stretch to r/o any underlying lesions)….Floor of mouth and palato-pharyngeal tissues
Most reported cases of microglossia are associated with one of a group of overlapping conditions known as ________
oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndromes
oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndromes (which have association with microglossia) have associated limb anomalies like what two entities?
1.hypodactylia (absence of digits) 2.hypomelia (hypoplasia of part or all of a limb)
Aside from oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndromes, patients with microglossia have also been found to have what three anomalies?
- cleft palate 2. intraoral bands 3. situs inversus (major visceral organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions
Microglossia frequently is associated with hypoplasia of _______, and the ________ may be missing
the mandible….lower incisors
