Q

Which describes the most likely etiology of HFM?

a. x-linked
b. autosomal recessive
c. FGF (fibroblast growth factor) receptor defect
d. Intrauterine vascular injury

A

d. Intrauterine vascular injury

Stapedial artery disruption in utero due to expanding hematoma affects blood supply to 1st and 2nd branchial arches.

Etiology is likely multifactorial with vascular disruption, teratogens, amniotic bands, hematoma formation, intrauterine compression, chromosomal defects, etc

Q

In addition to the maxillomandibular anomalies, the most consistent finding in HFM is:

a. cataracts
b.tortuous internal carotid artery
c microtia
d single central incisor

A

c. Microtia = small ears

HFM clinically = mandibular hypoplasia which causes maxillary hypoplasia, occlusal cant with facial asymmetry, orbital asymmetry and crossbite/scissor bite.

Q

A 7 year old with HFM with no condyle or ramus, severe deficiency of posterior facial height on the affected side and large maxillary occlusal cant. Patient is in orthodontics in preparation for surgery which should include:

a. DO of affected side of mandible
b. bilateral mandibular DO
c. Lefort I to level plane
d. chostochondral grafting

A

d. chostochondral grafting

Kaban type I correction with orthognathic sx

Kaban type II a and b with DO - some with asymmetric orthognathic sx if TMJ functioning well

Kaban type III requires bone grafting, transport DO, or TJR

In occlusal cant cases (type I and IIa) ortho appliances can be used to create open bite so maxilla can grow more on hypoplastic side

a. 1-2 years
b 3-4 years
c. 8-10 years
d. 4-17 years

A

c. 8-10 years

cranioorbital zygomatic growth is complete by age 7

requires ear reconstruction with rib cartilage at age 8

Orbital surgery at age 10

Orthognathic, bilateral DO, and orthodontics also needed

23
Q

A. parallel to affected suture

b. perpendicular to affected suture
c. parallel to open sutures
b. perpendicular to open sutures

A

b. growth is arrest perpendicular to affected suture
- compensatory expansion parallel to suture fusion

24
Q

CT image of a 3 month old demonstrates (sagitall suture is fused)

a. metopic synostosis
b. coronal synostosis
c. sagittal synostosis
d. lamdoid synostosis

A

c. sagittal synostosis
= most common

Anterior to posterior
Metopic suture is frontal AP suture
Coronal is transverse
Sagittal is AP more posterior
Lamdoid is transverse in posterior
25
Q

Premature fusion of metopic suture causes

a. brachycephaly
b. scaphocephaly
c. trigonocephaly
d. posterior plagiocephaly

A

c. trigonocephaly - anterior of head comes to a point

- triangular skull

26
Q

In diagnosis a child with posterior cranial vault asymmetry characterized by unilateral flattening, benign positional skull molding must be differentiated from which synostosis?

a. Lambdoid
b. metopic
c. sagittal
d. bicoronal

A

a. Lambdoid synostosis = posterior plagiocephaly or flattening of the head in the posterior leading to asymmetric skull

unilateral coronal leads to anterior plagiocephaly.

Positional skull molding is from baby laying on one side to long and that side flattens

27
Q

Scaphocephaly is commontly associated with which synostosis?

A

Sagittal - elongated head in AP direction

Bicronoal synostosis leads to brachycephaly or widening of skull.

28
Q

Most forms of craniofacial dysostosis syndromes (crouzon, Aperts, Saethre-chotzen) are:

a. x linked recessive
b x linked dominant
c autosomal dominant
d autosomal recessive

A

c autosomal dominant

but they can be sporadic as well

FGFR (fibroblast growth factor) genes implicated

Patient usually have increased ICP, hydrocephalus, and MR

29
Q

What is most appropriate treatment for this 6 month old ( CT shows left unilateral coronal synostosis)

a. observation
b. reshaping posterior 2/3
c. reshaping anterior cranial vault and fronto orbital advancement
d. nonsurgical treatment with cranial orthotic band

A

c. reshaping anterior cranial vault and fronto orbital advancement

tx - infancy use helmets

sx- strip cranietomy to open sutures or barrelstave osteotomies to remodel skull or Lefort III with DO

30
Q

In an infant undergoing craniofacial surgery with a transcranial approach, which is an early indicator of cerebral air embolus?

a. decreased ETCO2
b. increased ETCO2
c. Oxygen desaturation
d. Hypertension

A

a. decreased ETCO2

this is followed by hypotensive crisis

air enters diploic channels in cut bone to venous circulation and ends up in right side of heart. At this point it can enter pulmonary circulation causing pulmonary HTN, or it can cross to left side of heart ( if foramen ovale is patent) and cause stroke.

31
Q

Durign cranifacial surgery an air embolism is suspencted by the surgeon. which of the following is most helpful in controling entry of air into venous circulation?

a. raising head above heart
b. limiting irrigation in surgical field
c. applying bone wax to cute bone edges
d. administration of nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture

A

c. applying bone wax to cute bone edges

32
Q

Are most cases of synostosis syndromic?

A

Most are nonsyndromic

33
Q

Which cranial vault suture is most commonly associated with crouzon syndrome?

a. lambdoid
b. sagittal
c. coronal
d. metopic

A

c. coronal

Autosomal dominant
Anterior brachicephaly (coronal synostosis)

more common and less severe than aperts

34
Q

What are the 4 findings of crouzon syndrome

A
  1. exorbitism/proptosis
