Lecture 2 Flashcards
T or F: Fewer than 3% of children with clefts had associated features.
True
The prevalence of syndromic CLP is ____
30%
The prevalence of non-syndromic CLP is _____
70%
Define syndrome:
The recurrent pattern of symptoms of a multi-anomaly disorder are related to a single cause.
Define sequence:
The recurrent pattern of symptoms of a multi-anomaly disorder are related to an initial anomaly ( chain reaction effect)
Define association:
Two or more anomalies are observed in a recurrent pattern but it is not clear if there is an underlying common etiology or sequence of events.
What are two types of anomalies?
Deformations and Malformations
Define Deformations:
The cause of the anomaly is extrinsic, usually arising from mechanical stress such as bending or compression.
Define Malformations:
The cause of the malformation is intrinsic (ie. an organ developed wrong due to genetic code)
List the 4 embryonic structures in the adult face:
Median Nasal prominence
Lateral Nasal prominence
Maxillary prominence
Mandibular prominence
What are anthropometric measures of the normal adult face?
Divided in thirds:
Vertical relationship and Horizontal relationship
Describe where the 4 lines are for the vertical relationship:
Hairline
Eyebrows
Bottom of nose
Bottom of chin
Describe where the 2 sets of lines are for the horizontal relationship:
The inner corner of the eye and sides of largest part of nose
The inner side of the iris and the corners of the mouth
Hypertelorism is when the ______ are _____
eyes
too far apart
Hyportelorism is when the ______ are _____
eyes
too close together
Telecanthus is when the ______ are _____
irises
not centred in the eye and are close together
(also called dystopia canthorim)
The orientation of the palpebral fissure of the eye is important because an upslant may indicate _______ and a downslant may indicate
microcephaly
intracranial pressure
Where is the normal ear placement?
Top of the ear is level with the eye, front of the ear is in line with the front of the neck
Brachydactyly is ______
short fingers
A club foot is an example of a ________.
deformation
Amnion rupture sequence is an example of a _______
deformation
After mechanical rupture of the amniotic sac, amniotic bands may attach to the embryo and restrict intrauterine growth. This is called ______
Amnion rupture sequence
AKA:
Amniotic deformity, adhesion and mutilation (ADAM)
Is Pierre-Robin a malformation or a deformation?
Could be either:
- if the micrognathia was mechanically induced (deformation) the mandibula will show a postnatalcatch up
- if congenital malformation no catch up grow will occur
What are the symptoms of Pierre-Robins Sequence?
Micrognathia - tongue looks too big for the oral cavity:
glossoptosis (backwards collapse of tongue -leads to apnea)
cleft palate
Describe the 4 possible initial treatment options for the respiratory distress
Tracheotomy and gastric tube (baby can’t cry)
Glossopexy (fix tongue to lip)
Mandibular distraction (break it and make it longer)
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (like braces for jaw, a screw thing to slowly move out)
Describe the feeding problems in Pierre Robin
- proportional to airway problems
- glossoptosis affects thrust of tongue needed to suck
- Reflux
Is pierre Robins a seqence or syndrome?
Pierre Robin Sequence is a sequence. It occurs in more than 30 different syndromes including 22q11 etc.
List the 9 types of syndromes discussed in class:
1) Van-der-Woude Syndrome
2) Stickler Syndrome
3) Velocardiofacial syndrome (22q11)
4) Beckwith-wiedemann Syndrome
5) Down Syndrome Trisomy 21
6) Oculo-aurico-vertebral spectrum ( goldenhar)
7) Mandibulofacial dystosis (Treacher-Collins)
8) Holoprosencephaly Sequence
9) Dyscraniosynostosis Syndromes
Stickler syndrome Velocardiofacial syndrome (22q11) Mandibulfacial dystosis (Treacher Collins) Moebius Syndrome Fetal Alcohol Syndrome All have \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Pierre Robins sequence
- Autosomal dominant inheritance
- Cleft lip / palate and paramedian pits of the lower lip is which syndrome
Van-der-Woude syndrome
Describe the face of Stickler syndrome:
Large eyes
Low ear
Small mouth
Describe 4 symptoms of stickler syndrome:
1) pierre-robin sequence
2) progressive arthropathy
3) progressive myopia and retinal detachment
4) progressive sensorineural hearing loss
