Craniosynostosis, a condition in which the sutures of the head (joints between the bones of the skull) prematurely fuse and subsequently alter the shape of the head, is seen in multiple conditions, as listed below. The level of involvement varies by condition and can range from minor, single-suture craniosynostosis to major, multisutural ...
Children born with craniosynostosis have a distinct phenotype, i.e., appearance—observable traits caused by the expression of a condition's genes. The features of craniosynostosis' particular phenotype are determined by which suture is closed. [7] The fusion of this suture causes a certain change in the shape of the skull; a deformity of the ...
Symphalangism brachydactyly craniosynostosis; Symphalangism brachydactyly; Symphalangism Cushing type; Symphalangism distal; Symphalangism familial proximal; Symphalangism short stature accessory testis; Symphalangism with multiple anomalies of hands and feet; Symphalangism, distal, with microdontia, dental pulp stones, and narrowed zygomatic arch
Craniosynostosis and dental anomalies (CRSDA, also known as Kreiborg-Pakistani syndrome) is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis, maxillary hypoplasia, and dental anomalies. Dental anomalies seen in this condition include malocclusion, delayed and ectopic tooth eruption, and/or supernumerary teeth.
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
Craniosynostosis with anomalies of the cranial base and digits is a syndrome characterized by atypical development in a fetus's limbs and skull. People with this condition are often missing the middle parts of the second and fifth fingers, as well as their thumbs, though the thumbs may be improperly positioned.
Hundreds of deadly virus samples are missing from a lab in Australia, the Queensland Government announced on Monday. Queensland Health has launched an investigation into the “major historical ...
Cranial sutures. A defining characteristic of Crouzon syndrome is craniosynostosis, which results in an abnormal head shape.This is present in combinations of: frontal bossing, trigonocephaly (fusion of the metopic suture), brachycephaly (fusion of the coronal suture), dolichocephaly (fusion of the sagittal suture), plagiocephaly (unilateral premature closure of lambdoid and coronal sutures ...
