Some clefting is due to what?
Syndromic
With syndromic clefting, ____% of pts have cleft palate only.
50%
- Most cases in syndromic clefting are cleft palate only
- Most cases in overall clefting are both cleft lip and cleft palate
Tell me about clefting with Pierre Robin.
Cleft palate only
Mandibular micrognathia - small mandible
Glossoptosis - Downward displacement of tongue
Clefting can also occur in a non-syndromic way. Name some environmental factors.
Maternal alcohol or cigarette use
Folic acid deficiency
Corticosteroid use
Anticonvulsant therapy
A lateral facial cleft happens when?
Lack of fusion of the maxillary and mandibular processes

An oblique facial cleft happens when?
Failure of fusion of the lateral nasal processes with maxillary process

TRUE
Prevalence of clefting?
Native Americans
Asians
Whites
Blacks
1 in 250
1 in 300
1 in 700
1 in 1500
T/F - Cleft lip and cleft palate is more common in males.
TRUE
T/F - Cleft palate only is more common in females
TRUE
What is a submucous palatal cleft?
Surface is intact, but defect exists in the underlying musculature of the soft palate
-Bone notch will be present on post hard palate and appears as a bluish midline discoloration
What are lip pits?
Occur in commissures
- Mucosal invaginations that occur at the corners of the mouth on the vermilion border
- NOT CLEFTING, but an issue with deposition of collagen
What are paramedical lip pits?
Congenital invagination of the lower lip
-Usually bilateral
What syndrome is associated with lip pits?
Van der Woude Syndrome
- Greatest significance of paramedian lip pits
- With cleft lip and cleft palate
What is microglossia?
Abnormally small tongue
- Usually syndromic
- Rarely, the entire tongue may be missing (Aglossia)
- Associated with hypoplasia of the mandible (micrognathia)
- Lower incisors may be missing
- Tx depends on nature and severity of condition
What is ankyloglossia?
Developmental tongue abnormality characterized by a short, thick lingual frenum, which limits tongue movement
- This is called tongue-tied*
- 4% of neonates
- May cause problems with speech and breastfeeding
- No tx req’d if asymptomatic, or may be self-correcting
- Frenotomy or frenuloplasty - wait until age 4-5
Where does the thyroid gland begin?
Foramen cecum - Begins as an epithelial proliferation in the floor of the pharyngeal gut during week 3-4 of embryogenesis
During week 7, the thyroid bud normally descends into the neck, ant to trachea and larynx
Site where the descending bud invaginates later becomes the?
Foramen cecum
-Located at junction of ant 2/3 and post 1/3 of the tongue in midline
If primitive gland doesn’t descend normally, then ectopic thyroid can be found b/t what?
Foramen cecum and the epiglottis
-90% of ectopic thyroids (also called lingual thyroids) are found here
T/F - Lingual thyroid is 7x more common in females.
TRUE
What are some symptoms with lingual thyroid?
Arise during puberty, adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause
-Dysphagia, dysphasia, dyspnea
T/F - 1/3 of lingual thyroid pts have hypothyroidism.
TRUE
How to diagnose lingual thyroid?
Via thyroid scan using iodine isotopes or technetium-99m), CT, and/or MRI
-Biopies are avoided
What is a thyroglossal duct cyst?
Develop from epithelial remnants of the thyroglossal tract
- 50% are diagnosed before age 20
- Painless, fluctuating, movable swelling at or near midline, usually inferior to the hyoid bone
- Tx - surgical removal - 10% recurrence
- 1% carcinoma
What is hemihyperplasia?
Rare developmental anomaly
Asymmetric growth of one of more body parts (unilateral macroglossia)
**Hyperplasia - Increase in cell NUMBER
What is craniosynostosis?
Premature closing of the cranial sutures
- Brachycephaly (short head), scaphocephaly (boat-shaped head), trigonocephaly (triangle head)
- Cloverleaf skull (KLEEBLATT-SCHADEL deformity)
- Underdeveloped maxilla
