Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13 (13q) are related with variable phenotypes, according to the size and the location of the deleted region. The main clinical features are moderate/severe mental and growth retardation, cranio-facial dysmorphism, variable congenital defects and increased susceptibility to tumors. Here we report a 3-year-old girl carrying a de novo 13q13.3-21...

Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth. When they are present in the nasal cavity, they are called nasal tooth. Supernumerary teeth are reported from mandible, orbit, palate, maxillary antrum and nasal cavity. Eruption of teeth into these sites are rare and easily overlooked(l). Although, they are asymptomatic, they may prevent and delay the eruption of normal teeth and lead to the malalignment in...

without significant bone anomalies was unlikely as child did not have affected relatives. There are wide variety of congenital or hereditary disorders in which there is total or partial absence of nails. These disorders are usually associated with other major congenital anomalies. Fetal phenytoin syndrome occurs approximately 7 to 10% of all babies exposed to phenytoin during pregnancy. The fea...

Results Five cases of CA-MRSA were identified. The isolates had multisensitive pattern on antibiotic susceptibility testing and were resistant to only penicillin and oxacillin. All cases were skin and soft-tissue infections, namely diabetic foot with gangrene, infected scalp haematoma, philtrum abscess in a healthcare worker, thrombophlebitis complicated with abscess and infected bedsore. All f...

Superficial basal cell carcinoma and tinea nigra sometimes share similar clinical manifestations. Herein, we report the case of a 56-year-old Asian woman with superficial basal cell carcinoma located on her philtrum, which was initially misdiagnosed as tinea nigra. We also describe the different distinguishing features of this lesion under dermoscopic examination to improve the diagnostic accur...

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a multiple congenital anomaly characterized by distinctive facial features, upper limb malformations, growth and cognitive retardation. The diagnosis of the syndrome is based on the distinctive clinical features. The etiology is still not clear. Mutations in the sister chromatid cohesion factor genes NIPBL, SMC1A (also called SMC1L1) and SMC3 have been sugge...

We present a 12-year-old girl with karyotype 46,XX. A comparative genomic hybridization array revealed a 3.172-Mb microduplication on 22q11.2. This chromosome 22q11.2 region microduplication has been described in patients with variable phenotypes; a large majority of them have identical 3-Mb duplications. The girl presented mild mental motor retardation, facial dysmorphism consisting of a ...

Nasal alveolar molding is used effectively to reshape the nasal cartilage and mold the maxillary arch before cleft lip repair and primary rhinoplasty. It provides aesthetic and functional benefits of nasal tip and alar symmetry and improved dental arch form. At The Craniofacial Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the authors have developed a modification of a nasal alveolar molding...

Introduction: The ideal lip repair is characterized by; the symmetrical shape of nasolabial folds and both alae nose with a natural-looking philtrum Cupid’s bow in static dynamic states, addition to hidden scar.Objective: compare between Fisher anatomical subunit approximation technique Millard rotational advancement unilateral cleft repair.Methods: Prospective study for 40 patients presented A...

Abstract Background Human face is complex and intricate structure, with several features that are unique to each individual can be taken as an identity pass in this mortal world. The facial profile of holds materialistic value crucial for human identification. Present study aims investigate the influence sex age on soft tissue thicknesses (FSTT) at midline landmarks estimated MRI scans. Methods...
