Exam 1 Review Flashcards
What are the developmental conditions that are often present?
- Present at young age or congenitally
- Bilaterally symmetrical
- Asymptomatic
What are the general considerations for developmental conditions?
- Sporadic vs Genetic (ask about family, if not then it’s sporadic)
- Isolated vs Generalized
What’s the tern to descrive a generalized condition characterized by multiple abnormalities?
Syndrome
What term describes without jaw development (aplasia)?
Agnathia
What’s the term for a small underdeveloped jaw (hypoplasia) and the term for large jaw?
- Small jaw - Micrognathia
- Large jaw - Macrognathia
Describe the primary and secondary or aquired characteristics of marco/micrognathia?
- Primary - developmental
- Secondary or acquired - from another disease or condition, (tumors, acromegaly, Paget’s disease)
What is one of the most common (2nd to be exact) developmental anomalies occuring in 1st trimester (4-12 weeks)?
Cleft lip and/or palate
What is the etiology for cleft lip/palate?
Unknown, genes and environmental factors
Describe the palatal development.
- Lateral palatal shelves fuse anteriorly at junction with premaxilla and fuse posteriorly
Describe the upper lip development.
- Bilayered epithelium, mesoderm penetrates developing into connective tissue and muscle and adding bulk to lip.
- Mesoderm comes from globular portion of median nasal processes and maxillary processes bilaterally.
In cleft lip, what is the cleft from?
A lack of mesodermal penetration
Describe cleft lip.
- Upper lip
- Off midline
- 20% bilateral
Describe cleft palate.
- Anterior to premaxilla
- Right of Left over alveolar ridge
What are the characteristics of bifid uvula?
- Not related to cleft palate
- Occassionally associated with submucosal cleft of muscle
Put these in order of most common to least common:
Cleft lip
Cleft palate
Cleft lip with cleft palate
- Cleft lip with cleft palate
- Cleft lip
- Cleft palate (50% other anomalies)
> 150 syndromes with clefting as a component
