24
Q

a primary malformation, the failure of growth of the mandible during the first weeks of gestation results in micrognathia which forces the normal sized tongue into an unusual position. This blocks the fusion of the palatal shelves causing a U shaped cleft palate. After delivery the normal sized tongue in smaller than normal sized oral cavity leads to airway obstruction which can be life threatening

Q

Pierre robin sequence is an example of what genetic issue

A

malformation sequence

27
Q

Individuals with Pierre Robin sequence may have it as a part of _______ syndrome

A

Stickler syndrome (AD disorder)

28
Q

arise as a result of environmental forces acting on normal structures. They occur later in pregnancy or after delivery

A

Deformations

29
Q

rhomboid shaped head

A

plagiocephaly

30
Q

Plagiocephaly may result from intrauterine positioning or from torticollis experience in the newborn period. This is an example of __________

A

deformation

31
Q

Deformations often resolve with minimal intervention but ______ often require surgical and medical management

A

malformations

32
Q

variants of normal that occur in less than 3% of the population including findings such as transverse palmar creases, low set ears or ocular hypertelorism (wide spaced eyes). When isolated, no clinical significance

A

minor malformations

33
Q

the recognizable pattern of anomalies that result from a single identifiable underlying cause.

A

multiple malformation syndrome

34
Q

A ______ differs from a syndrome in that in the former, no single underlying etiology explains the recognizable pattern of anomalies that occur together more often than would be expected by chance alone

A

association

35
Q

VACTERL association
what does this stand for

A

Vertebral anomalies
anal atresia
cardiac defects
tracheoesophageal fistula
renal anomalies
limb anamalies

36
Q

infants born breech are more likely to have congenital ______ then born from vertex

A

malformations

37
Q

As a woman gets older, there is increased risk of ______leading to trisomies

A

nondisjunction

38
Q

An increased amount of amniotic fluid may be associated with what problems or anomalies

A

intestinal obstruction or CNS anomaly that leads to poor swallowing

39
Q

An decreased amount of amniotic fluid may be associated with what problems or anomalies

A

chronic amniotic fluid leak or point to a Urinary tract abnormality that results in a failure to produce urine

40
Q

Larger than expected size at birth may suggest an ______ syndrome such as

A

overgrowth syndrome
Sotos
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
or maybe a diabetic mother

41
Q

If the child is proportionate. Limbs that are too short for the head and trunk imply the presence of

A

a short-limbed bone dysplasia such as Achondroplasia

42
Q

a trunk and head that are too short for the extremities suggest a disorder affecting the vertebrae such as

A

spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia

low set ears are below a line drawn from the ____ ____ to the ______

A
