Management of Severe Cleft and Syndromic Midface Hypoplasia
Seminars in Orthodontics, 2009Distraction osteogenesis has become an alternative treatment to treat severe craniofacial skeletal dysplasias. A rigid external distraction device has been successfully used to advance the maxilla as well as the maxillary, orbital, and forehead complex (monobloc) in children as young as 2 years, adolescents, and adults.

Is Le Fort I Distraction Enough to Treat Severe Midface Hypoplasia?
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2021Background: In severe cases of maxillary hypoplasia, Le Fort I distraction may be required for treatment. This study describes our experience with internal distraction devices and assesses our outcomes in patients with a negative overjet on average >15 mm.

Internal Distraction Resulted in Improved Patient-Reported Outcomes for Midface Hypoplasia
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2018Background: Both internal and external distraction devices have been used successfully in correcting midface hypoplasia. Although the indication for surgery and the osteotomy techniques may be similar, deciding when to use internal versus external devices has not been studied.

2D And 3D Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Fetal Midface Hypoplasia in Two Cases With 3-M Syndrome [PDF]
Geburtshilfe Und Frauenheilkunde, 2016 This paper highlights the utility of 2D and 3D ultrasonography in the prenatal diagnosis of facial dysmorphisms suggestive of very rare syndromes such as 3-M syndrome. Two pregnant women at risk for fetal skeletal dysplasias were referred to our clinic for 2D/3D ultrasound scan in the second trimester of pregnancy.

Midface hypoplasia, obesity, developmental delay and neonatal hypotonia in two brothers
Clinical Dysmorphology, 2003We describe two brothers born to consanguineous parents, who presented with hypotonia and hypoglycaemia in the neonatal period and later developed obesity and developmental delay. They had brachydactyly and similar facial features including a prominent forehead, low nasal bridge, midface hypoplasia, full lips, a small mouth, and small, low set ears ...

New Internal Le Fort I Distractor for the Treatment of Midface Hypoplasia
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2004A new Le Fort I internal distraction device was developed by one of the authors (J. G.) and successfully used on a patient with cleft lip and palate and severe maxillary hypoplasia. The device consisted of an upper plate and a lower plate, which were installed above and below the Le Fort I osteotomy. The upper plate was shaped like a "U," and the lower

Children exposed during pregnancy to the anticonvulsant drugs phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine as monotherapy and polytherapy have an increased frequency of midface and digit hypoplasia. Some children also have cognitive dysfunction. The hypothesis tested is that the anticonvulsant drug-exposed child with midface and digit hypoplasia is more

Multivectorial, External Halo-Assisted Midface Distraction in Patients With Severe Hypoplasia
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2008Osteogenesis distraction is an increasingly used technique for the correction of facial deformities because it offers a faster and more controlled growth of the hypoplasic bone along with the elongation of the soft tissues. In this article, we describe the technique and our experience in midface distraction using an external multivectoral distraction ...

Severe midface hypoplasia is frequently addressed with subcranial midface advancement at the Le Fort II or Le Fort III level. Le Fort II advancement has a predominant affect on the vertical and sagittal positioning of the nasomaxillary complex; in contrast, the Le Fort III advancement allows for correction of zygomatic position and exorbitism.
