A
based on their treatment approach to the occurrence
in four designated zones:

□ Zone 3 (the central cranial base), and
□ Zone 4 (the tooth-bearing regions of the maxillary alveolus
and mandible)

TCOFl gene
is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and all patient inherited the mutated from of the gene

is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, with only 40% of
patients inheriting a mutated copy of the gene and 60% of cases arising from de novo mutagenesis
37
If obstruction is limited to the tongue
base and epiglottis, mandibular distraction can be effective in the
newborn age or at a later age if sleep apnea develops.

F preferred unless there is a paucity of skin as in a very low lobule or
anotia. 16 For these patients, the four-stage Brent technique
43
At which age the Malar/orbital reconstruction should be attempted
At age 8 to 12 years, malar/
orbital reconstruction may be undertaken with full-thickness parietal
skull bone grafts for the zygomatic arch and lateral orbit, with split
thickness grafts for the orbital floor
44
A common surgical procedure to treat the open bite in Treacher choline syndrome without airway compromise is Lefort 1
F for the Treacher Collins patient, this will likely worsen the airway and aesthetics because of the short cranial base and abnormal mandible
45

Tessier described l'integrale
procedure combining a Le Fort II osteotomy, bilateral mandibular
advancement, orbital bone grafting, and genioplasty for the severe,

Bone reconstruction with either bone graft or titanium or methylmethacrylate
shortening of the levator aponeurosis may be necessary
orbital box repositioning may be necessary to treat vertical orbital dystopia .
59
A bony defect of the orbit may should be reconstructed at the same time
T
60
the best choice for reconstruction of most osseous
defects
bone grafts, resorption of the graft is common
because of the pulsatile intracranial contents. Thus, in this particular
location, alloplastic (titanium or methylmethacrylate) should be used
61
n the treatment of
hemifacial hypertrophy, it is necessary to sacrifice certain amount of
normal soft tissue structures,
T
62
In Pierre Robin Sequence cleft palate deformity is an associated abnormality but
not a requirement for the sequence

83
functional muscle transfers frequently can be done with facial nerves successfully
F functional muscle transfers frequently require innervation by nonfacial nerves such as the
masseteric nerve
84

How we can echieve the re animation of the facial muscle
The most commonly used one-stage procedure is
the innervated, partial gracilis free muscle flap

T
86
If CN V is functional how do you constract the facial animation in Moebius?
lengthening temporalis myoplasty or Labbe procedure may be performed
87
Cause of lagophthalmos in Moebius
The mechanism of lagophthalmos in Moebius syndrome is due to the lack of opposition of the
levator palpebrae muscle by the paralyzed orbicularis oculi muscle
88
For Lagophthamus positions have been described for the weight placement
(1) pretarsal and (2) postseptal.
89

considered.
