Craniofacial Clefts and Orbital Hypertelorism Flashcards
Definitive surgical intervention for orbital hypertelorism
at which age?
Definitive surgical intervention for orbital hypertelorism
should wait until the orbit has reached maturity at least 5
to 7 years of age.
Orbital hypertelorism is Type of syndrome
Orbital hypertelorism is a physical finding, not a syndrome
facial clefts
are numbered O to 7, whereas cranial clefts are numbered 8 to 14
T
A diagnosis of a craniofacial cleft can be made more reliably based on the s soft tissue manifestations
F A diagnosis of a craniofacial
a cleft can be made more reliably based on the skeletal manifestations
which are more consistent than the soft tissue manifestations
Median craniofacial clefts represent a unique form of facial clefting
which can be associated with both hyperplasia of midline structures
and tissue hypoplasia
F Median craniofacial clefts represent a unique form of facial clefting
which can be associated with both hypoplasia of midline structures
and tissue hyperplasia
there is a positive correlation
between the severity of the facial findings and degree of CNS anomalies
T
What in investigation that we need to do in a mild form of median craniofacial hypoplasia ?
In patients with milder forms, assessing CNS anatomy in Median Craniofacial Hypoplasia is crucial with CT or magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate between lobar and alobar holoprosencephaly and to determine the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis
A false median cleft lip
maybe present with the absence of the philtrum and central tubercle in cleft number 0
T
The columella may be narrowed, shortened, or absent, and the nasal
tip may lack projection because of a hypoplastic or absent caudal septum IN no. 14 clefts
F In number 0 cleft
IN 0/14 cleft secondary palate can be present
F. complete absence of the premaxilla and
primary palate resulting in a large central palatal cleft
Meaning of Craniofacial Dysraphia
Dysraphia represents a failure offusion, or cleft, ofmidline structures
without deficiency or excess.
a true median cleft lip where all central structures are
apsent
F a true median cleft lip where all central structures are
present
median cleft with present philtral columns
T
An encephalocele meaning
is a herniation
of CNS structures including brain and cerebrospinal fluid through a
weakened midline space
Type of Anterior encephaloceles
Basal encephaloceles, where the CNS herniates through a defect
in the cribriform plate or sphenoid bone into the ethmoidal space
and frontoethmoidal encephaloceles, where the herniation occurs
anterior to the crista galli at the junction of the frontal and ethmoidal
bones.
No. 1 Tessier clefts can often be confused with common cleft lips
T
No 1 cleft passes through Cupid’s bow to the nasal base
T
The eyelids are affected. with No. 1 clefts
F The eyelids are unaffected. No. 1 clefts
no. 1 cleft, however, is the involvement
of the medial nose including a notched soft triangle and alar dome
T
medial canthal displacement occurs in cleft number 1
T. medial canthal displacement resulting
in telecanthus
A primary and
secondary palatal cleft may be present in cleft N .1
T
Widened ethmoids can result in hypertelorism.
T
NO.2 originating at the peak of Cupid’s bow before extending up to the lateral nasal spine
F originating at the peak ofCupid’s
bow before extending up to the nasal sill
Difference bet no. 1 clefts, no. 2 clefts
Unlike no. 1 clefts, however,
no. 2 clefts pass through the middle third of the ala, lateral to the soft
triangle, resulting in a hypoplastic ala rather than a notch.
