Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a morphologically well-defined syndrome that results in a dysmorphic status combining bone anomalies and joint contractures with characteristic facies. FSS (FreemanSheldon Syndrome) is also known as craniocarpotarsal dysplasia (or dystrophy), distal arthrogryposis type IIA (DAIIA), whistling face syndrome, and whistling face-windmill vane hand syndrome. The syndrome ...

PATIENT The patient was a 48-year-old partially edentulous male with microstomia. His chief complaints were masticatory disturbance and aesthetic problems caused by missing teeth. After trayless impressions for diagnostic casts were made, sectional trays and a sectional record block were used for the definitive impression and maxillomandibular registration. Maxillary and mandibular acrylic sect...

The cranial sutures have delayed ossification and fontanelles remain open for a long time and as a result brachycephaly occurs with frontal and parietal bossing and thin calvarium, facial bones are hypoplastic, small beaked nose with receeding, hypoplastic mouth and chin. Low-set ears, thin and light hair, hypotrichosis of scalp, eyebrows and eye lashes, micro-opthalmia with congenital cataract...

Otocephaly complex is a rare and usually lethal syndrome characterized by a set of malformations consisting of microstomia, mandibular hypoplasia/agnathia, and ventromedial malposition of the ears. Those cases that have been diagnosed prenatally have used an ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure to establish a definitive airway. However, prenatal diagnosis continues to be challenging, primar...

Auriculo-condylar syndrome (ACS) is characterized by typical ears malformation (so-called "question mark" ears), prominent cheeks, microstomia, and abnormality of the temporomandibular joint and condyle of the mandible. In this report we describe a new simplex case and a previously unreported family with affected individuals in three generations documenting clinical variability. Linkage study f...
