Sphincter Pharyngoplasty for Velopharyngeal Dysfunction: Impact of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 133, Issue 10, Page 2813-2820, October 2023., 2023
Objective Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DelS) often present with velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD). VPD in patients with 22q11DelS is multifactorial beyond velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) alone, and differences in surgical outcomes are poorly understood.

Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 2: Aggregating the literature and reporting on the life of a 66‐year‐old man

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 193, Issue 2, Page 188-192, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, leptodactylic type (SEMDJL2), is a rare bone dysplasia that results from hotspot (amino acids148/149) mutations in KIF22. Clinically, affected individuals present with generalized joint laxity, limb malalignment, midface hypoplasia, gracile digits, postnatal short stature, and occasionally ...

WWOX developmental and epileptic encephalopathy: Understanding the epileptology and the mortality risk

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 1351-1367, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective WWOX is an autosomal recessive cause of early infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (WWOX‐DEE), also known as WOREE (WWOX‐related epileptic encephalopathy). We analyzed the epileptology and imaging features of WWOX‐DEE, and investigated genotype–phenotype correlations, particularly with regard to survival.

Craniofacial morphology in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta—A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 248-255, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the craniofacial and neurocranial morphology of adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with controls and to elucidate whether osseous origin impacts on morphological deviations in OI. Materials and Methods Fifty‐four adults (mean age 45.8) with OI type I, 14 adults (mean age 42.6) with OI types

Endoscopic endonasal approach to the craniovertebral junction

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 16-24, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The surgical approach to lesions of the ventral craniovertebral junction (CVJ) has evolved significantly in the last several years with the advent of endoscopic skull base surgery. Differing pathologies of the CVJ can result in irreducible compression of the cervicomedullary region.

Novel Variant in Exon 3 of the BMP4 Gene Resulted in Ectopic Posterior Pituitary, Craniocervical Junction Dysmorphism and Limb Anomaly

open access: yesCase Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Introduction. Pituitary differentiation involves a large number of transcription factors. In particular, BMP4 expression is fundamental for pituitary gland commitment from the ventral diencephalon, suppressing Shh expression in Rathke’s pouch. Pathogenic variants in BMP4 are reported in the literature with a broad phenotypic spectrum, including ...

Application of Enhanced Recovery after Surgical Treatment of the Occipitocervical Region

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1269-1276, June 2021., 2021
This study investigated 208 consecutive patients to provide guidance for the improved postoperative rehabilitation of patients with occipitocervical region disease. We found enhanced recovery after surgery can provide benefits when it applied to patients undergoing occipitocervical surgery mainly in terms of reducing postoperative complications ...
