The second branchial arch: rheumatological manifestations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the course of normal development in man, the middle and largest part of the second branchial arch, the keratohyal cartilage, develops into a fibrous cord, the so-called stylohyoid ligament. Ossification takes place solely at its two ends, that is, in the hyoid bone and in the styloid process of the skull. In the present paper the significance for the clinical rheumatologist of some developmental anomalies of the styloid process will be considered.

Bilateral Second Arch Branchial Fistula-A Case Report
Introduction: Branchial arch anomalies represent defects in embryological developments whereby parts of the branchial arch persist in the head and neck regions as sinuses, fistulas, or cysts. These anomalies usually present as a unilateral lesion in the head and neck of young adults and children, which are excised upon the emergence of complications. Case Report: Herei...

UNLABELLED The branchial arches are the embryological precursors of the face, neck and pharynx. Anomalies of the branchial arches are the second most common congenital lesions of the head and neck in children, with second branchial arch anomalies by far the most common. Clinically, these congenital anomalies may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants with typical cli...
متن کاملHomeotic transformation of branchial arch identity after Hoxa2 overexpression.
Overexpression of Hoxa2 in the chick first branchial arch leads to a transformation of first arch cartilages, such as Meckel's and the quadrate, into second arch elements, such as the tongue skeleton. These duplicated elements are fused to the original in a similar manner to that seen in the Hoxa2 knockout, where the reverse transformation of second to first arch morphology is observed. This co...
متن کاملCranial muscle defects of Pitx2 mutants result from specification defects in the first branchial arch.
Pitx2 expression is observed during all states of the myogenic progression in embryonic muscle anlagen and persists in adult muscle. Pitx2 mutant mice form all but a few muscle anlagen. Loss or degeneration in muscle anlagen could generally be attributed to the loss of a muscle attachment site induced by some other aspect of the Pitx2 phenotype. Muscles derived from the first branchial arch wer...
متن کاملDifferential Distribution of the Ca (2+) Regulator Pcp4 in the Branchial Arches Is Regulated by Hoxa2
Branchial arches are externally visible tissue bands in the head region of all vertebrate embryos. Although initially formed from similar components, each arch will give rise to different head and neck structures. In a screen designed to characterize the molecular control of branchial arch identity in mouse, we identified Pcp4 as a second branchial arch-specific molecular signature. We further ...
