Q

How is the deformation of the ear related to agnathia ?

A

In case of unilateral absence of the mandibular ramus, it is not unusual for the ear to be deformed or absence as well.

It is probably due to failure of migration of neural crest mesenchyme into the maxillary prominence at the fourth to fifth week of gestation.

Q

What is pseudo micrognathia?

A

Many cases of apparent/pseudo micrognathia are not due to an abnormally small jaw in terms of absolute size, but rather to an abnormal positioning or an abnorma relation of one jaw to the other or to the skull, which produce the illusion of micrognathia.

Q

Described the gross of micrognathia of maxilla?

A

Micrognathia of the maxilla frequently occurs due to deficiency in the premaxillary area, and patient with this deformity appear to have the middle third of the face retracted.

Q

Cause and affect of maxilary micrognathia?

A

Although it has been suggested that mouth-breathing is a cause of maxillary micrognathia, it is more likely that the micrognathia may be one of the predisposing factors in mouth breathing, owing to the associated maldevelopment of the nasal and nasopharyngeal structures.

20
Q

What is macrognathia?

A

Macrognathia refers to the condition of abnormally large jaws.

21
Q

Causes of macrognathia?

A
  1. Paget’s disease of bone, in which overgrowth of the cranium and maxilla or occasionally the mandible occurs
  2. Acromegaly, in which there is progressive enlargement of the mandible owing to hyperpituitarism in the adult
  3. Leontiasis ossea, a form of fibrous dysphasia in which there is enlargement of the maxilla
22
Q

Etiology of mandibular protrusion or prognathism

A

The etiology is unknown,although some cases follow hereditary patterns

23
Q

Causes of macrognathia?

A
  • due to disparity in the size of the maxilla in relation to the mandible or in other cases the mandible is measured larger than normal
  • the angle between ramus and the body influence the relation of the mandible to the maxilla as does the actual height of the ramus
  • increased height of the ramus
  • increased mandibular body length
  • increased gonial angle
  • anterior positioning of the glenoid fossa
  • decreased maxillary length
  • posterior positioning of the maxilla in relation to the cranium
  • prominent chin button
  • varying soft tissue contour
24
Q

Long ramus with prognathism?

A
  • prognathic patient tends to have long rami which from a less steep angle with the body of the mandible
  • the length of the ramus in turn may be associated with the growth of the condyle therefore excessive condylar growth predisposes to mandibular prognathism.
25
Q

Treatment of macrognathia?

A

Ostectomy or resection of a portion of the mandible to decrease its length.

26
Q

What is hemihypertrophy?

A

Hemihyperplasia is a rare developmental anomaly characterised by asymmetric overgrowth of one or more body parts. Although the condition is known more commonly as hemihypertrophy, it is actually represents a hyperplasia of the tissue rather than a hypertrophy.

27
Q

Malformation syndromes associated with hemihyperplasia?

A
  1. Beckwith- Wiedemann syndrome
  2. Neurofibromatosis
  3. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome
  4. Proteus syndrome
  5. McCune-Albright syndrome
  6. Epidermal nexus syndrome
  7. Tripoli/diploid mixologist
  8. Langer-Giedion syndrome
  9. Multiple exostoses syndrome
  10. Olllier syndrome
  11. Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia
28
Q

Hoyme et al (1998) provided an anatomical classification of hemihyperplasia?

A
  1. Complex hemihyperplasia : involvement half of the body (at least one arm and one leg); affected parts may be contralateral or ipsilateral
  2. Simple hemihyperplasia : involvement single limb
  3. Hemifacial hyperplasia : involvement of one side of the face
29
Q

Etiology of hemihyperplasia?

A
  • cause is unknown but the condition has been variously ascribed to
    • vascular or lymphatic abnormalities
    • CNS disturbances
    • chromosomal abnormalities
30
Q

Clinical features of facial hemihypertrophy?

A
  • exhibit an enlargement which is confined to one side of the body
  • unilateral macroglossia
  • premature development, and eruption as well as an increased size of dentition
31
Q

Occurrence of hemihypertrophy?

A
  • familial occurrence
  • females are affected somewhat more frequently than males (63% vs 37%)
  • equal involvement of the right and left side
32
Q

Oral manifestation of hemihypertrophy?

A
  • The dentition of the hypertrophic side, abnormal
  • crown size, root size
  • crown shape, root shape
  • rate of development
  • permanent teeth on the affected side are often enlarged although not exceeding a 50% increase in size.
  • rapidly developed and erupt
  • premature shedding of the deciduous teeth
  • enlarged mandible and maxilla, being wider and thicker sometimes with an altered trabecular pattern.
  • tongue show a bizarre picture of enlargement and contralateral displacement
  • buccal mucosa appears velvety and may seem to hang in soft, pendulous folds on the affected side.
33
Q

Histologic features of facial hemihypertrophy?

A

True muscular hypertrophy was not found.

34
Q

Treatment of hemihypertrophy?

A

No specific treatment for this condition other than attempts at cosmetic repair. Cosmetic surgery is advised after cessation of growth

Periodic abdominal ultrasound / MRI is recommended to rue out tumours .

35
Q

Differential diagnosis of facial hemihypertrophy?

A

-there are certain disease of the jaws such as NEUROFIBROMATOSIS and FIBROUS DYSPLASIA of the jaws, that may give the clinical appearance of facial hemihypertrophy but these can usually be differentiated readily by the lack of effect on tooth size and rate of eruption.

36
Q

What is the other name of facial hemiatrophy?

A
  • Parry-Romberg syndrome
37
Q

What is parry-Romberg syndrome?

A

Parry-Romberg syndrome or facial hemiatrophy consists of slowly progressive atrophy of the soft tissue of essentially half the face, which is characterised by progressive wasting of subcutaneous fat, sometimes accompanied by atrophy of skin, cartilage, bone and muscle.

38
Q

Parry-Romberg syndrome gross?

A

Although the atrophy is usually confined to one side of the face and cranium, it may occasionally spread to the neck and one side of the body and it is accompanied usually by COLATERAL JACKSONIAN EPILEPSY, TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA, and changes in the eyes and hair.

39
Q

Parry-Romberg syndrome may be a form of…………… why?

A

Localised scleroderma because the presence of antinuclear antibodies in his serum

40
Q

Occurance of hemifacial atrophy?

A
  • rare condition

- occurs sporadically although some familial distribution has been found

41
Q

Etiology of parry-Romberg syndrome?

A
  1. According Wartenburg
    - the primary factor to be a cerebral disturbance leading to increased and unregulated activity of sympathetic nervous system, which in turn produced the localised atrophy through its trophic functions conducted by way of sensory trunks of the trigeminal nerve.
  2. According to other
    - extraction of teeth, oral trauma, infection and genetic factors can be a cause.
  3. According to Poswillo
    - Poswillo attributed the development of facial deformities to the disruption of the stapedial artery.
42
Q

Clinical features of hemifacial atrophy?

A
  • painless cleft, the ‘coup de sabre’, near the midline of the face or forehead. This marks the boundary between normal and strophic tissue.
  • atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bones, cartilage, alveolar bone and soft palate on that side of the face
  • hemiatrophy of the tongue
  • ipsilateral salivary gland
  • hemiatrophy unilateral involvement of the ear, larynx, eosophagus, diaphragm, kidney, and brain
43
Q

Occurance of hemiatrophy ?

A

Female : male = 3:2

  • slight predilection for the left side
  • appears in the first or second decade of life
44
Q

Differential diagnosis of facial hemiatrophy?

A

Post-traumatic fat atrophy, hemifacial microsomia, Goldenhar’s syndrome and partial lipodystrophy

45
Q

Oral manifestation?

A
  • incomplete root formation
  • delayed eruption
  • severe facial asymmetry resulting on difficult in mastication
  • hemiatrophy of the tongue and lips
46
Q

Treatment and prognosis of hemifacial atrophy?

A
  • No treatment
  • disease will be progressive for a period of several years and then remain unchanged for the remainder of the patients life.
