L10 Craniofacial Anomalies Flashcards
when does facial formation occur
between the 4th and 8th week of pregnancy
what are the five prominences that form the face
- one frontonasal prominence
- two maxillary prominences
- two mandibular prominences
what part of the face does the frontonasal prominence form
forehead, nose and central part of each lip
what part of the face do the maxillary prominences form
upper jaw, lower half of cheecks, and the skin muscles and nerves of these areas
what part of the face do the mandibular prominences form
lower jaw, lower half of cheecks and skin muscles and nerves of these areas
are fusion lines visible
no, apart from the philtral columns, which are a normal part of the upper lip
by what week of pregnancy has the palate formed
week 11
what part of the palate develops first
the primary palate (anterior part lying in front of incisive foramen)
how does the secondary palate form
The palatal shelves elevate and fuse in the midline to form the complete palate
basic cause of cleft lip and palate
a failure of complete fusion of the various prominences
does unilateral cleft lip usually require SLT
not for speech, maybe for feeding as a neonate
cleft lips and palates affecting speech
- Unilateral cleft lip and palate
- Bilateral cleft lip and palate
- Cleft of hard and soft palate
- Cleft of soft palate
- Sub mucous cleft palate
what is a sub mucous cleft palate
Oral mucosa is intact but the underlying muscles of the soft palate are abnormally inserted into the posterior margin of the hard palate resulting sometimes in impaired soft palate function.
three classic signs of sub muscous cleft palate
- Bifid uvula
- Palatal notch - palpable V shaped notch in the posterior boarder of the hard palate which you can feel.
- Zona pellucida (not always present) - translucent central zone due to muscle diastasis.
syndromes associated with cleft lip and palate
- Treacher Collins
- Aperts
- Van der Woude
- Prader-Willi
- Beckwith-Wiedeman
- 22q11 Deletion Syndrome
other names for 22q
DiGeorge Syndrome and/or Velocardiofacial Syndrome
catch-22
22q
C - Cardiac defect
A - “Abnormal” facial features
T - Problems with the thymus gland and reduced immunity
C - Cleft palate/Palatal abnormalities
H - Hypocalcaemia, calcium deficiency
22 - Deletion of chromosomal material on chromosome 22
communication profile of 22q children
- VPD
- Glottal articulation/clicks/pharyngeal fricatives
- Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)
- Dysarthria
- Language delay (mainly expressive)
- Voice disorders
- Lanryngotracheal abnormalities
other features of 22q
- Intellectual disability
- Psychiatric diagnosis e.g. schizophrenia
- Anxiety issues
- Autistic Spectrum Disorder
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorde
when does surgery for primary repair of cleft lip occur

when does the surgery for primary repair of cleft palate occur
6-12 months of age in 1 or 2 stages
when does secondary speech surgery occur
after 3 years of age
when does lip revision surgery occur
after 4 or 5 years, but usually child is closer to 10
when does alveolar bone graft surgery occur
when the child is 10/11
what is alveolar bone graft surgery
when a piece of one from hip brought to mouth for support of adult dentition
when does orthognathic surgery occur
wen the person is at least 17
