Purpose: Cranial lacunae (foci of attenuated calvarial bone) are CT equivalents of "copper beating" seen on plain skull radiographs in children with craniosynostosis. The qualitative presence of copper beating has not been found to be useful for the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension (IH) in these patients. 3D morphometric analysis (3DMA) allows a more systematic and quantitative assessment of calvarial attenuation.

Background: In FGFR2 craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia features oculo-orbital disproportion and symptomatic exorbitism. Clinical consequences may mandate surgery at a young age to prevent globe subluxation, corneal ulceration, and potential loss of vision. Monobloc osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis (monobloc distraction) seek to correct exorbitism. Read More

Purpose: Systematic examination of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is important during the follow-up period after surgical repair of syndromic craniosynostosis. In these patients, postoperative progress can be unclear due to the involvement of multiple sutures and the high incidence of relapse due to the progressive nature of the disease and to genetic variability. In this study, we investigated the clinical manifestations of increased ICP in syndromic craniosynostosis patients before and after surgery. Read More

Le Fort II and III procedures have generally been performed for syndromic craniosynostosis with midfacial hypoplasia and skeletal class III malocclusion. However, some patients have midfacial hypoplasia without malocclusion. Perinasal osteotomy was performed with distraction osteogenesis to move the midface forward in 2 patients (a 17-year old female patient with Crouzon-like disease and a 15-year-old female patient with Antely-Bixler syndrome) with mild midface hypoplasia without malocclusion.

While officially designated as distal arthrogryposis type 2A, the condition commonly referred to as Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) also historically has been termed craniocarpotarsal dystrophy, whistling face syndrome, and craniocarpotarsal dysplasia and classified at different times as a skeletal dysplasia, nonprogressive myopathy, craniofacial syndrome, and distal arthrogryposis. Having previously provided evidence for FSS being a complex myopathic craniofacial syndrome with extra-craniofacial features in most patients, the rationale for revising the FSS eponym and supplanting the current official designation with a new one was based on considerations for educational usefulness, historical accuracy, communication fluency, and nosologic clarity underpinned by genetic, pathologic, and operative experience and outcomes.

We report 2 cases of mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) with different and novel de novo mutations in the elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2 gene. Both cases were initially thought to have alternative disorders but were later correctly diagnosed through whole-exome sequencing. These cases expand upon our knowledge of the phenotypic spectrum in patients with MFDM, which will aid in defining the full phenotype of this disorder and increase awareness of this condition.

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a common congenital malformation of the craniofacial region. There are 3 possible pathogenic models of HFM-vascular abnormality and hemorrhage in the craniofacial region, damage to Meckel's cartilage, and the abnormal development of cranial neural crest cells-and the most plausible hypothesis is the vascular abnormality and hemorrhage model. These 3 models are interrelated, and none of them is completely concordant with all the variable manifestations of HFM. Read More

Activating mutations of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are a major cause of skeletal dysplasias, and thus they are potential targets for pharmaceutical intervention. BMN 111, a C-type natriuretic peptide analog, inhibits FGFR signaling at the level of the RAF1 kinase through natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2) and has been shown to lengthen the long bones and improve skull morphology in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ thanatophoric dysplasia mouse model. Here we report the effects of BMN 111 in treating craniosynostosis and aberrant skull morphology in the Fgfr2cC342Y/+ Crouzon syndrome mouse model. Read More

Crouzon syndrome is a syndromic faciocraniosynostosis that can be associated with severe fronto-facial retrusion leading to major functional impairments: extreme exorbitism may be vision-threatening and severe respiration impairment can be life-threatening. The procedure of choice for the primary correction of this retrusion is fronto-facial monobloc advancement (FFMBA) with internal or external distraction. FFMBA involves pterygomaxillary dysjunction (PMD), using either a superior or an intra-oral approach. Read More

Crouzon syndrome (CS) and Beare-Stevenson syndrome (BSS) are craniosynostosis syndromes caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor 2 () gene. CS is more common (1 in 60,000 live births) than BSS, where fewer than 20 individuals have been reported. The cardinal features of BSS are craniosynostosis, cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, skin furrows, skin tags, anogenital anomalies, and a prominent umbilical stump. Read More

By describing 10 new patients recruited in centres for Human Genetics, we further delineate the clinical spectrum of a Crouzon-like craniosynostosis disorder, officially termed craniosynostosis and dental anomalies (MIM614188). Singularly, it is inherited according to an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. We identified six missense mutations in IL11RA, a gene encoding the alpha subunit of interleukin 11 receptor, 4 of them being novel, including 2 in the Ig-like C2-type domain. Read More

Repeats in coding and non-coding regions have increasingly been associated with many human genetic disorders, such as Richieri-Costa-Pereira syndrome (RCPS). RCPS, mostly characterized by midline cleft mandible, Robin sequence and limb defects, is an autosomal-recessive acrofacial dysostosis mainly reported in Brazilian patients. This disorder is caused by decreased levels of , mostly due to an increased number of repeats at the 5'UTR. Read More

The surgical management of midface hypoplasia in the setting of Nager syndrome remains a significant challenge for craniofacial surgeons. This study describes a novel technique using distraction osteogenesis and modified osteotomies for the treatment of midface bony defects in an 11-year-old child with Nager syndrome.Presurgical 3-dimensional planning was performed to design the osteotomies and placement of distractors.

Introduction: Patients with Craniofacial Microsomia (CFM) mandibles Types I/IIa benefit from combined LeFort 1 osteotomy and Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis (LeFort + MDO); Type IIb from LeFort + MDO or Bimaxillary osteotomy (BiMax); and Type III from BiMax (with 50% of cases having preceding mandibular procedures, including patient-fitted prosthesis); as seen in Part 1. This leads to the question how maxillary and mandibular hypoplasia are correlated and influence the types of maxillary correction.
Material And Methods: A retrospective chart study was conducted including patients diagnosed with CFM from 2 large craniofacial units. Read More

Introduction: Mandibular reconstruction in craniofacial microsomia (CFM) has been described and reviewed at length although final results are not always (aesthetically) satisfactory due to maxillo-mandibular asymmetry, for which optimal correction techniques remain unclear. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the surgical options for maxillary correction in patients with unilateral CFM.
Material And Methods: MEDLINE/Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases were searched up to April 15, 2017. Read More

Background: The relapse of hemifacial microsomia was thought to be highly related to the soft tissue envelope around the mandible angle mainly composed by masseter and medial pterygoid. According to the reason, we tried to apply masseter injection of type A botulinum toxin to weaken the soft envelope tension on the early stage post mandible distraction in adult HFM patients.
Methods: Eight patients diagnosed with HFM were studied and randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. Read More
