Furthermore, if a cleft patient has lip pits, he or she has a ten times greater risk of having a child with cleft lip with or without cleft palate than a cleft patient who does not have lip pits. [4] Types of clefting between parents and affected children are significantly associated; however, different types of clefts may occur horizontally ...
Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a congenital malformation of the midface. [1] For the diagnosis of FND, a patient should present at least two of the following characteristics: hypertelorism (an increased distance between the eyes), a wide nasal root, vertical midline cleft of the nose and/or upper lip, cleft of the wings of the nose, malformed nasal tip, encephalocele (an opening of the skull ...
Within craniofacial disorders and abnormalities, orofacial clefts, and specifically cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP) are the most common in humans. [9] Occurrences of CL/P are most often (around seventy percent of cases) isolated and nonsyndromic, meaning they are not associated with a syndrome or inherited genetic conditions.
[1] [2] Cleft lip and cleft palate can often be diagnosed during pregnancy with an ultrasound exam. [1] A cleft lip or palate can be successfully treated with surgery. [1] This is often done in the first few months of life for cleft lip and before eighteen months for cleft palate. [1] Speech therapy and dental care may also be needed. [1]
Holoprosencephaly-ectrodactyly-cleft lip/palate syndrome; Other names: Hartsfield syndrome [1] Specialty: Medical genetics: Diagnostic method: genetic testing, physical examination: Prevention: None: Prognosis: poor: Frequency: rare, about 35 cases have been described in the medical literature: Deaths: most patients are either stillborn or die ...
Pierre Robin sequence [a] (/ p j ɛər r ɔː ˈ b æ̃ /; [3] abbreviated PRS) is a congenital defect observed in humans which is characterized by facial abnormalities.The three main features are micrognathia (abnormally small mandible), which causes glossoptosis (downwardly displaced or retracted tongue), which in turn causes breathing problems due to obstruction of the upper airway.
Malpuech facial clefting syndrome, also called Malpuech syndrome or Gypsy type facial clefting syndrome, [1] is a rare congenital syndrome.It is characterized by facial clefting (any type of cleft in the bones and tissues of the face, including a cleft lip and palate), a caudal appendage (a "human tail"), [2] [3] growth deficiency, intellectual and developmental disability, and abnormalities ...
Maxillary hypoplasia is the most common secondary deformity that results from cleft lip and cleft palate. Because of the subjective nature of the diagnosis, the incidence of maxillary hypoplasia in people with cleft lip and palate varies between 15-50%. It is estimated that 25-50% of these patients require surgical intervention. [7]
