Management of craniofacial abnormalities

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2005
A number of congenital and acquired conditions can affect the skull, face and jaws resulting in a wide range of craniofacial abnormalites that commonly present at birth or in early infancy. This article aims to outline the aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and principles of management of those conditions that commonly present to a craniofacial unit ...

Craniofacial developmental abnormalities

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1998
Major advances have been made in the elucidation of the molecular basis of a number of human dysmorphic syndromes involving abnormalities of craniofacial development. This will lead, in turn, to a greater understanding of the mechanisms that underlie normal craniofacial development.

Abnormal craniofacial growth

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1995
Treatment of patients with craniofacial (CF) anomalies necessitates knowledge about normal CF growth and how it deviates in the abnormal state. There are different basic types of CF anomalies and various kinds of aberrations that influence CF development. These factors might help to explain why patients display growth variations.

The genetic basis of craniofacial and dental abnormalities

Schweizer Monatsschrift fur Zahnmedizin = Revue mensuelle suisse d'odonto-stomatologie = Rivista mensile svizzera di odontologia e stomatologia, 2011
The embryonic head development, including the formation of dental structures, is a complex and delicate process guided by specific genetic programs. Genetic changes and environmental factors can disturb the execution of these programs and result in abnormalities in orofacial and dental structures.

Hand Abnormalities Associated With Craniofacial Syndromes

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2003
One in approximately every 626 newborns has a congenital anomaly of the upper limb. Frequently, patients with craniofacial syndromes may have associated hand anomalies. In this article, we try to answer why certain craniofacial syndromes have associated hand anomalies through an examination of the common factors in development and maldevelopment of ...

Craniofacial Abnormalities in Twins at Tygerberg Hospital, Craniofacial Unit

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2005
There is no article in the literature correlating only craniofacial abnormalities in twins. Since 1985 the Tygerberg Craniofacial Unit has treated nine pairs of twins. In this retrospective study, the authors correlate the craniofacial and systemic anomalies with the specific twin type.The frequency of human twinning varies from 1 in 30 to 1 in 150 ...

Abnormal Coagulation during Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2001
<i>Introduction:</i> This prospective study of children undergoing major craniofacial surgery was undertaken to determine whether abnormal hemostasis occurred and to characterize any coagulopathy found. <i>Methods:</i> Coagulation tests, blood loss and blood product transfusions were recorded perioperatively.

Diagnostic approaches to respiratory abnormalities in craniofacial syndromes

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2021
Craniofacial syndromes are a complex cluster of genetic conditions characterized by embryonic perturbations in the developmental trajectory of the upper airway and related structures. The presence of reduced airway size and maladaptive neuromuscular responses, particularly during sleep, leads to significant alterations in sleep architecture and overall

Abnormalities of craniofacial development: discussion report

Development, 1988
ABSTRACT The following topics arose as major areas of discussion after individual papers and in the general discussion at the end of the session. Discussion from both sources has been merged here to facilitate easier reading.

Syndromes of Abnormal Craniofacial Contour

2001
Abstract Anencephaly is a congenital anomaly characterized by an open neural tube in the cephalic region with an exposed mass of degenerate neural tissue on the skull floor. The cranial vault is absent, producing characteristic bulging of the eyes and absence of the neck.
