- Defect in structures of the eye - Developmental anomaly resulting from the failure of closure of certain structures (eyelids, lens, iris, optic disc)
63
What is Choanal atresia?
- No opening from nasal cavity to nasopharynx - Bilateral atresia in newborns leads to airway obstruction
64
What is Ear anomalies?
- External, middle, and inner ear problems - CHL, SNHL or mixed
65
What do CHARGE-Ear Anomalies cause in the external ear?
Microtia, cup/lop ears, malposition
66
What do CHARGE-Ear Anomalies cause in the Middle ear?
- Absent/abnormal ossicles and oval/round windows - Middle ear effusions
67
What do CHARGE-Ear Anomalies cause in the Inner ear?
Hypoplasia of CN7, cochlea Temporal bone anomalies
68
What do CHARGE-Ear Anomalies cause in hearing?
* Prevalence ≥ 90% * Usually mixed (CHL + SNHL) Mild to profound May be progressive Most have sloping loss greatest in high frequencies
69
How do CHARGE anomalies affect Hearing Aids?
- Difficulty fitting earmolds due to external ear malformations and small EAC - Chronic infection or otorrhea may also prevent hearing aid use
70
What is Neurofibromatosis (Type 1)?
* Autosomal dominant Neurofibromin gene (NF1) on chromosome 17 Half from new mutation * AD-variable expression * Better prognosis than Neurofibromatosis Type 2
