The Fetal Face and Neck Flashcards
A group of abnormalities associated with the entrapment of fetal parts in the amnion, often resulting in fetal amputations or clefting
Amniotic Band Syndrome
A condition of having an abnormal number of chromosomes
Aneuploidy
Absence of the eye(s)
Anophthlamia
Measurement from the lateral margin of one orbit to the lateral margin of the other orbit
Binocular Diameter
Close-set eyes (hypotelorism) and a nose with a single nostril
Cebocephaly
The abnormal division of the lip
Cleft Lip
The abnormal development of the soft and/or hard palate of the mouth where there is a division in palate
Cleft Palate
Fusion of the orbits
Cyclopia
A mass, typically found in the neck region, that is the result of an abnormal accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the soft tissue
Cystic Hygroma
An oral teratoma
Epignathus
A condition in which there is no nose and a proboscis separating two close-set orbits; associated with holoprosencephaly
Ethmocephaly
Diffuse enlargement of the fetal thyroid gland
Fetal Goiter
An abnormal accumulation of fluid in at least two fetal body cavities
Fetal Hydrops
A group of brain abnormalities consisting of varying degrees of fusion of the lateral ventricles, absence of the midline structures, and associated facial anomalies
Holoprosencephaly
Increased distance between the orbits; widely spaced orbits
Hypertelorism
Reduced distance between the orbits
Hypotelorism
The length between the orbits; measured from the medial margin from one orbit to the medial margin of the other orbit
Interlocular Diameter
An unusual protuberance of the tongue
Macroglossia
A small mandible and recessed chin
Micrognathia
A decrease in the size of the eye
Microphthalmia
Small ear(s)
Microtia
The posterior part of the or nape of the neck
