Quiz 1 Flashcards
Describe the effect of the position of the tongue during the formation of the secondary palate
At first the tongue is up very high near the nasal septum
As the palate fuses together the tongue moves downward out of the way
Congenital/hereditary causes of macroglossia
Vascular malformations (hemangioma, lymphangioma)
Hemihyperplasia
Metabolic diseases (mucopolysaccharidoses)
Downs syndromes
Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome
Isolated CL is often (80% of the time)…
Unilateral
70% on left
CL + CP are related ____ + isolated CP is a separate entity
Etiologically
What are the 2 etiologies of clefts
Isolated (non syndromic)
Syndrome associated
Incidence of CL vs. CP vs CL+CP
CL least common (25% cleft pts)
CP (30%)
CL + CP most common (45%)
What is the most common congenital abnormality in humans?
Orofacial clefts
How are bifid condyles oriented in the glenoid fossa?
Most common = lateral/medial
Less common = anterior/posterior
Incidence of leukoedema
Blacks > whites
More prominent in smokers
Incidence of lingual thyroid
Very rare
Small remnants of tissue seen in 10% of ppl
Actual lingual thyroid less common
- females > men
In condylar hypoplasia the jaw deviates _____ from the affected side
Towards
Incidence of coronoid hyperplasia
Rare
Men 5x > women
Bilateral 5x > unilateral
Fordyce Granules
Sebaceous glands in oral mucosa (buccal mucosa + vermillion zone of upper lip)
Ectopic
NORMAL variation (80% ppl)
Varicosities
Dilated + tortuous vein(s)
Commonly in sublingual area
Develops because loss of connective tissue tone leads to a slowing of bloodflow
Median mandibular cleft
Failure of fusion of the mandibular processes
How common is Eagle Syndrome
18-40% of ppl
Ankyloglossia
Tongue tie
Short thick lingual frenum
Oblique facial cleft
Failure of fusion of lateral nasal process + maxillary process
Extends from upper lip to eye
ALWAYS associated with CP
Double lip is more common in which lip
Upper
Commissural + paramedian lip pits are _____ because saliva can be squeezed out of them
Blind fistulas
Acquired causes for condylar hypoplasia
1 trauma
Infection
Radiation
Arthritis
Isolated (non syndromic) clefts are caused by _____ inheritance
Heterogeneous
How is the lower lip formed
Fusion of the 2 mandibular processes
4 things to know about Ascher Syndrome
- AD
- Double lip
- Blepharochalasis (upper eyelid edema)
- Nontoxic goiter (50% cases)
Exostoses
Tori
Localized bony protuberances arising from cortical plate
Histologically = mass of non neoplastic bone w minimal marrow
Fissures + geographic tongue (migratory glossitis) histologically appears just like…
Psoriasis
Racial variation of bifid uvula
Most common in Asians + Native Americans (1/10)
Whites (1/80)
Blacks (1/250)
Paramedian lip pits
Congenital (AD) invaginations of lower lip
Arise from persistent lateral sulci on the embryonic mandibular arch (normally disappear by 6 wks)
Blind fistulas
Traumatic Eagle Syndrome
Symptoms following fracture of the mineralized stylohyoid ligament
How do you differentiate between a varicosity and a tumor?
If site blanches it is likely NOT a tumor
Leukoedema
Diffuse gray white look of mucosa Buccal mucosa to lips Thick epithelium Intracellular edema No tx
If you stretch cheek it goes away
Most minimal variation of CP
Bifid uvula
Acquired causes of macroglossia
Edentulous pts Amyloidosis Myxedema Acromegaly Tumors (most common)
Submucous Palatal Cleft
Variation of CP
Defect in underlying musculature only
Seen as notch in palate
No problems (incidental finding)
Hairy tongue
Marked hyperkeratinization of filiform papillae (only papillae that doesn’t have tastebuds)
Lateral facial cleft can be isolated or associated with ___
Mandibulofacial dysostosis
Causes of CLASSIC Eagle Syndrome
after tonsillectomy after scar tissue develops in area of mineralized stylohyoid ligament
3 things to know about Van der Woude Syndrome
- Paramedian lip pits assoc with CL + CP
- Hypodontia
- Mutations in interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6)
Clinical presentation of condylar hyperplasia
Facial asmmetry
Prognathism
OB
(Sometimes) compensatory Mx growth + tilting of the O plane
Are bifid condyles more often unilateral or bilateral?
Unilateral
Symptoms of coronoid hyperplasia
- restricted mouth opening
- deviation towards affected side
Commissural Lip Pits
Small mucosal invaginations @ corners of mouth on vermillion border
Abnormal fusion of the maxillary + mandibular processes
Carotid artery syndrome (stylohyoid syndrome)
Elongated mineralized complex (stylohyoid) impinges on internal + external carotid artery + assoc. sympathetic nerves —–> Eagle Syndrome
