Module 11 : Fetal Face and Neck Pathology Flashcards
when does face development begin and end
- starts 5 weeks LMP
- completed 10 weeks LMP
what does the face develop from
- 5 main facial processes that move together and fuse
what are the 5 main facial processes
- 1 frontonasal process
- 2 maxillary prominences
- 2 mandibular prominences
how does the frontal nasal process move
- starts superior in head and moves inferiorly
what 5 things does the frontonasal process form
- mid forehead
- nose
- CENTRAL UPPER LIP
- central maxilla
- anterior pallate
how do the maxillary prominences move
- starts lateral then move medial
what 4 things does the maxillary prominences form
- cheeks
- LATERAL UPPER LIP
- maxilla
- posterior/ secondary palate
how do the mandibular prominences move
- start lateral and inferior then move medially
what does the mandibular prominences form
- form the mandible
where does the nose being to develop and where does it move to
- nose starts above the orbits as 2 widely spread nasal placodes
- move medially and inferiorly
what are placodes
- areas of ectoderm tissue which form the sense organs
+ auditory, olfactory, vision
where do the eyes being to develop and where do they move to.
- eyes start lateral
- move medial
where do the ears begin to develop and where do they move to
- start below the mandible
- move laterally and upward
area facial anomalies uncommon or common
- very common
what other abnormality usually occur with facial anomaly
- polyhydramnios occurs with most cases due to swallowing affected
what chromosomal abnormality is most commonly associated with facial anomalies
- trisomy 13 is highest
what maternal related factors can affect development of face
- drugs
- alcohol
- codeine
- valium
- anti-epileptic drugs
in what view do we assess the fetal orbits
- axial (BPD) through face
what do three things do we asses when looking at orbits
- orbital size
- lens on eyes
- binocular distance
in what view do we view nose/lips
- tangential coronal of nose lip
what 3 things are we looking for when we do the nose lip picture
- want soft tissue of the nose and lip rather than bone
- assess for intact upper lip
- presence of 2 nostrils
where do we take the profile picture of baby
- directly over midline sagittal of face
what 3 things are we looking for with the profile image of baby
- prominence of chin and forehead
- protruding tongue or a flattened nose
- asses for the nasal bone
what would the presence of a nasal bone look like on baby
- equal “=” sign between skin and bone
why is 3D imaging done with facial anomalies
- some surgeons like to see it for the extent of anomaly and to help parents get a better idea of what to expect on delivery
what is the normal distance between the orbits
- should be separated by the distance of one orbital globe
what orbital measurement can be used to date pregnancy when BPD cannot be used
- outer orbital distance OOD
- but does not communicate directly in mm to weeks
what are the 2 measurements of the orbits
- OOD = outer orbital distance
- IOD = inner orbital distance
what are 7 orbital anomalies
- anopthalmia
- micropthalmia
- hypertelorism
- hypotelorism
- cyclopia
- ethmocephaly
- cebocephaly
what is anopthalmia
- congenital absence or sever hypoplasia of the eyes
what chromosomal abnormality is most commonly associated with anopthalmia
- trisomy 13
what is microphthalmia and what chromosomal abnormality is associated with it
- small eyes
- trisomy 13
what is hypertelorism
- widely spread eyes
what is hypertelorism most commonly caused by
- due to mass blocking anterior migrate (encephalocele)
what is the less likely cause of hypertelorism
- craniosyostoses
what is hypotelorism and what chromosomal abnormality is it most commonly seen
- eyes close together
- trisomy 13
