Jones 2 Flashcards
What is PROGRESSIVE HEMIFACIAL ATROPHY (ROMBERG or PARRY-ROMBERG SYNDROME)?
Degenerative condition associated with atrophic changes on one side of the face
Cause of Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy
-Cause is unknown: malfunction of the cervical sympathetic nervous system, trauma, Lyme disease
Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy shares similar features to _______.
Scleroderma
When does Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy begin and who is it more prevalent in?
- Begins during the 1st and 2nd decades
- Females > males
Features of Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy
- Atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous structures
- Hypoplasia of the underlying bone
- Pigmented skin in affected area
- “Coup de sabre” (strike of the sword); occurs on the midline of the forehead
- Enophthalmos: due to loss of periorbital fat
- Alopecia
Oral manifestations of Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy
- Mouth and nose are deviated to the affected side
- Unilateral atrophy of the tongue
- Unilateral posterior open bite
- Delayed eruption of teeth
Treatment of Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy
- Atrophy progresses slowly for years and then becomes stable
- Plastic surgery
- Orthodontic therapy
Characterizations of CROUZON SYNDROME (CRANIOFACIAL DYSOSTOSIS)
- Characterized by premature closure of the cranial sutures
- Autosomal dominant trait
- New mutations are due to an increase in paternal age
Cranial malformations of Crouzon Syndrome
Cranial malformations:
- Brachycephaly (short head)
- Scaphocephaly (long and narrow head)
- Trigonocephaly (triangular shaped head)
Ocular proptosis, visual impairment, blindness, headaches, hearing deficits
Oral manifestations of Crouzon Syndrome
- Midface hypoplasia due to an underdeveloped maxilla
- Crowded maxillary teeth
- Occlusal abnormalities
Treatment of Crouzon Syndrome
- Early craniectomy to relieve increased intracranial pressure
- Frontoorbital advancement
- Midface advancement
Characterizations of MANDIBULOFACIAL DYSOSTOSIS(TREACHER-COLLINS SYNDROME)
- Characterized by defects in structures derived from the 1st and 2nd branchial arches
- Autosomal dominant trait
- 60% of new mutations are due to increased paternal age
Features of Mandibulofacial Dysostosis
-Hypoplastic zygomas
-Narrow face
-Depressed cheeks
-Downward slanting palpebral fissures
-75% have a coloboma (notch in the outer portion of the lower eyelid)
-Missing lower lid lashes
Deformed or misplaced pinnae
-Absence of the external auditory canal: Leads to hearing loss
Oral manifestations of Mandibulofacial Dysostosis
- Hypoplastic mandible
- Retruded chin
- Hypoplastic coronoid and condylar processes
- Cleft palate (1/3 of cases)
- Hypoplastic or missing parotid glands
Treatment of Mandibulofacial Dysostosis
-Mild cases: no treatment
-Severe cases:
Cosmetic surgery, Orthodontic therapy, Orthognathic surgery
Characteristics of CLEIDOCRANIAL DYSPLASIA
- Characterized by defects that primarily involve the skull and clavicles
- May affect other bones
- Autosomal dominant trait
- 40% of cases are spontaneous mutations
Features of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
- Short stature, enlarged skull, frontal and parietal bossing
- Ocular hypertelorism, broad nose base
- Midface hypoplasia leading to a relative prognathism
- Long neck, narrow shoulders with marked drooping
- Mobile shoulders due the absence or hypoplasia of the clavicles
- Clavicles are absent in 10% of the cases
Oral manifestations of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
- Narrow high-arched palate, cleft palate
- Retained primary teeth
- Unerupted secondary teeth
- Supernumerary teeth
