RASopathy is caused by dysfunction in the pathway, and include syndromes like Noonan syndrome (NS), NS with multiple lentigines (formerly known as Leopard syndrome), cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC), Legius syndrome, capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation, neurofibromatosis type 1, and Costello syndrome. When counted together, RASopathies affect 1/1000 live births, and are characterized by cardiovascular manifestations, short stature, developmental delay, renal, urogenital, skin/skeletal abnormalities, and dysmorphic appearance. NS-one of the most common RASopathies-occurs in 1/1000 to 1/2500 live births. On the other hand, the frequency of CFC is unknown, but it is one of the rarest RASopathies, with estimates of only a few hundred cases worldwide. However, its phenotype overlaps with that of NS. In this case series, we describe 5 patients with a clinical and genetic diagnosis of RASopathy-either NS or CFC-all of whom were also diagnosed with isolated sagittal synostosis (ISS). Medical records from ophthalmology, cardiology, plastic surgery, medical genetics, cleft craniofacial, and neurosurgery were used to determine patient history. In our cohort, late presentation of ISS was the predominant form of ISS presentation. We hope this report further characterizes the burgeoning relationship between RASopathy and ISS. Furthermore, these findings support including sagittal synostosis among the presenting features in the clinical phenotype of RASopathies. Ethical approval was obtained from the university's institutional review board.

Long-Term Neurocognitive Outcomes of Spring-Assisted Surgery versus Cranial Vault Remodeling for Sagittal Synostosis.

Authors:
Michael Alperovich Christopher M Runyan Kyle S Gabrick Robin T Wu Chelsea Morgan Sydney E Park Leah A Chapman Daniel E Couture Lisa R David John A Persing

Plast Reconstr Surg 2021 Mar;147(3):661-671

From the Department of Surgery, Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Yale School of Medicine; and the Departments of Plastic Surgery and Neurosurgery, Wake Forest School of Medicine.

Background: A long-term neurocognitive comparison of patients with sagittal synostosis who underwent spring-assisted surgery or cranial vault remodeling has not been performed.

Methods: Patients with sagittal synostosis who underwent spring-assisted surgery or cranial vault remodeling were recruited from Wake Forest School of Medicine and Yale School of Medicine, respectively. Cognitive tests administered included an abbreviated intelligence quotient, academic achievement, and visuomotor integration. Read More

Background: Geometric morphometric analysis with Procrustes superimposition is a commonly used method to characterize and study complex dysmorphology. The present study employs an advanced Procrustes-based approach to studying craniofacial dysmorphology in unilateral coronal synostosis and quantitatively describe bony patterns in this disorder, in order to better understand the associated fronto-orbital and sphenotemporal deformities.

Methods: Forty-one unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) patients and 41 age- and sex-matched controls underwent high-resolution computed tomography imaging. Read More

Childs Nerv Syst 2021 Feb 19. Epub 2021 Feb 19.

Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France.

Background: Sensenbrenner syndrome, also known as cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED), is a genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy, characterized by dysmorphic features including dolichocephaly (with inconstant sagittal craniosynostosis), chronic kidney disease (CKD), hepatic fibrosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and brain abnormalities, with a partial clinical overlap with other ciliopathies.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of four children with Sensenbrenner syndrome treated at the Femme Mère Enfant University Hospital of Lyon from 2005 to 2020 was conducted.

Results: Variants in WDR35 or WDR19 were found in all children. Read More
