Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) and Pierre Robin Sequence — Treatment and Life Expectancy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Treacher Collins syndrome is characterized by the congenital hypoplasia of the zygomatic and mandible bones. It is a syndrome with a concise clinical presentation and mostly surgical treatment. Pierre Robin disorder, on the other hand, is a sequence and not a syndrome, i.e., in Pierre Robin sequence, micrognathia leads to glossoptosis. Glossoptosis, on the other hand, is responsible for the airway obstruction seen in infants with Pierre Robin sequence.

متن کاملTreacher Collins Syndrome
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a genetic disease that alters the development of bones and other tissues in the face, and presents variable expressivity. At least three genes TCOF1, POLR1D, and POLR1C were recognized to be at the origin of this syndrome which may be inherited through either an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern. TCS changes can be divided into otological, opht...
متن کاملAnesthetic implications of infants with mandibular hypoplasia treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis.
OBJECTIVES To document the incidence of difficult intubation following mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in children with severe mandibular hypoplasia. BACKGROUND Syndromes associated with significant mandibular hypoplasia, especially Pierre Robin sequence, provide a challenge in airway management both in and out of the operating room. Mandibular advancement using mandibular distracti...
متن کاملCME Common Craniofacial Anomalies: The Facial Dysostoses
The wide spectrum of craniofacial malformations makes classification difficult. A simple classification system allows an overview of the current understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of the most frequently encountered craniofacial anomalies. Facial dysostoses are reviewed on the basis of their diverse etiology, pathogenesis, anatomy, and treatment. Conditions discussed includ...
متن کاملRole of SOX9 in the Etiology of Pierre-Robin Syndrome
Objective(s:Cleft lip/palate are common congenital anomalies, affecting approximately 2/1000 live births. Pierre Robin Sequence is a subgroup of the cleft palate population. Chromosomal abnormalities near the SOX9 gene disrupt the regulation of this gene and prevent the SOX9 protein from properly controlling the development of facial structures, which leads to isolated PRS. The present study wa...
