Cleft and Craniofacial anomalies

International confederation for cleft lip and palate and related craniofacial anomalies task force report: speech assessment.

This paper describes the outcome of the "Speech Assessment" Task Force of the 12th International Congress of the Confederation for Cleft Lip and Palate and Related Craniofacial Anomalies, held in 2013. This task force attempted to identify a draft set of professional competencies required by speech professionals for the perceptual evaluation of cleft palate speech. The task force also generated...

Chapter 16 : Craniofacial anomalies

The term craniofacial anomalies literally encompasses all congenital deformities of the cranium and face. More specifically, however, the term has come to imply congenital deformities of the head that interfere with physical and mental well-being (Marsh and Vannier, 1985).

Common craniofacial anomalies: conditions of craniofacial atrophy/hypoplasia and neoplasia.

The spectrum of craniofacial malformations includes conditions of congenital and acquired etiology. The conditions of craniofacial atrophy and hypoplasia may arise primarily or secondary to previous therapeutic interventions. The conditions of progressive hemifacial atrophy (Romberg disease) and radiation-induced hypoplasia will be reviewed on the basis of their etiology, pathogenesis, anatomy,...
