Craniofacial Microsomia Flashcards
Craniofacial microsomia This is the second most common congenital craniofacial anomaly after cleft lip or palate
T
Abnormality of structures arises from the second and third branchial arches
F Abnormality of structures arises from the first and second branchial arches
What differents between Obwegeser’s and McCarthy’s methods?
the early distraction of the mandible and orthodontic control of the growing maxilla (as per McCarthy’s) versus waiting for skeletal maturity to perform orthognathic surgery for correction of both jaws
In Craniofacial distraction, there will be cartilaginous interphase
The only process to create new bone and avoid grafts/flaps;
bone formation takes place without cartilaginous
intermediate
The OAV spectrum includes a variable phenotype and affects a greater range of structures, wich structures?
The OAV spectrum includes a variable phenotype and affects a greater range of structures, including the skeletal and soft-tissue components of the face, orbits, and cranium, as well as the axial skeleton and visceral
structures
CFM is defined by which anomaly anomalies?
(most commonly epibulbar dermoid or lipodermoids), auricular anomalies ranging from microtia to accessory tragal remnants), and vertebral anomalies.
Pathogenesis of CFM
insult due to hemorrhage/ ischemia caused by stapedial artery malformation, or disruption of neural crest cell migration
deficiency of the stapedial artery in irrigating the affected tissues
in the period prior to the formation of the external carotid artery
T
more accurate to consider CFM as a subset of OAV
T
more accurate to consider CFM as a subset of OAV and CFM
T
Thalidomide affects the neural crest cell migration
F retinoic acid and diabetes
(i.e., hyperglycemia) with neural crest cell apoptosis in embryogenesis
Thalidomide effect the stapedial artery
stapedial artery, which is a temporary hyoid artery collateral
T
How many percent of CM run in families?
45% of patients with
OAV dysplasia/Goldenhar syndrome/CFM had some family history
of similar findings but only 6% to 8% of first-degree relatives were
affected
number of chromosomal anomalies have
been loosely tied to CFM
T
OAV dysplasia, including which chromosomal defect?
OAV dysplasia, including trisomies of chromosomes 7, 9, 18, and 22 exhibit an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with variable penetrance
most cases are sporadic
T
Some study exhibit an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with variable penetrance.
T
CFM more commonly tends to affect the left side
F CFM more commonly tends to affect the right side
(~60%) and is more frequent in males (up to 65% males)
a rate of bilateral presentation
ranging from as low as 5% to
over 30% of cases.
The most obvious finding, CFM
Mandibular hypoplasia is usually the most obvious finding, as well as
the most common, present in over 90% of patients
condyle is affected to some degree in every patient with CFM
T
degree of condyle and ramus malformation corresponds to changes
in the angel
F degree of the condyle and ramus malformation corresponds to changes in the glenoid fossa
The glenoid fossa loses concavity and flattens
and can be malformed frankly in approximately 27% of patients
T
pivot point for the hypoplastic ramus or condyle is translated anteriorly when compared with the contralateral TMJ
T
In unilateral cases, the chin will deviate to the contralateral side
In unilateral cases, the chin will deviate to the affected side
Up to 27% of patients also
present with hypodontia
T which correlates in severity to the degree of
mandibular hypoplasia.
Maxilla and Zygoma arise from maxillary process of the second branchial arch
F. arise from maxillary process of the first branchial arch
The ramus and
condyle are usually affected much more than the body or ipsilateral
parasymphysis,
T
severe
cases showing an absence of the zygomatic arch.
T
Consequences of smaller maxilla?
the smaller maxilla is associated with a superior displacement of the maxillary sinus and nasal
base,
the abnormal temporal bone only considered one of the cranial manifestation of HFM
F the temporal and sometimes frontal bones
plagiocephaly may be seen in up to 12% of
patients.
T
noting asymmetry of cranial base landmarks in CFM patients
T
the most common site of extracranial bony involvement
the most common site of extracranial bony involvement is the axial skeleton, with vertebral or rib anomalies in 8% to
79% of patients. The manifestations of vertebral anomalies are varied
and include hemivertebrae, block vertebrae, scoliosis/kyphoscoliosis,
and spina bifida
the percentage of patients with cranial nerve involvement
the nervous system may be involved in CFM in 2% to 69%
Facial nerve paresis
and palsies have been reported, as well as involvement of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), but any cranial nerve may be involved.
T
Epibulbar dermoids are more frequently associated with Goldenhar
syndrome only
F Epibulbar dermoids are more frequently associated with Goldenhar
syndrome but may also be seen in CFM
Developmental disorders percentage
in 8% to 73% of patients
The presence of
Brain anomalies is well correlated with ocular findings, and epi-bulbar
dermoid specifically.
T
The most common nerve involove in HFM?
The cranial nerve most commonly involved is the facial nerve (CN
VII)
soft-tissue structures that
are significantly involved
auricular appendage, macrostomia, muscles of mastication, and salivary glands
Percentage of macrostomia
Macrostomia can be seen in up to 35% of patients
Clefting of the lip and palate has also been reported and
has been raised as an argument against the hematoma pathogenesis
T
Pruzansky
grade I and II mandibular hypoplasia found this relationship to hold
in regard to the temporalis muscle,
F Pruzansky
grade I and II mandibular hypoplasia found this relationship to hold
in regard to the masseter, but not the temporalis muscle,
