craniofacial syndromes

Cleft lip and palate
Epidemiology
Embryology
? Face starts forming by 4 rth week and completed by 8 th week
? Palate formation is completed by 10 th week
What is unique about craniofacial development?
? Dual origin
? Tissue interactions
? Elaborately choreographed morphogenic movements
Cyclopia
? Part of holoprosencephaly
? Holoprosencephaly also associated with-
Establishment and fusion of the facial
prominences
? basic morphology of the face is established between the 4th and 10th weeks
? midline frontonasal prominence,
? 3 paired prominences, the maxillary, lateral nasal, and mandibular
prominences
The frontonasal prominence
? forehead, midline of the nose, the philtrum, the middle portion of the
upper lip, and the primary palate.
? b/l cleft lip
The lateral nasal prominences
? alae of the nose
? failure in the fusion between the lateral nasal prominences and either
the frontonasal or the maxillary processes
The maxil ary prominences
? upper jaw and the sides of the face
? the sides of the upper lip
? the secondary palate.
The mandibular prominences
? Lower jaw and lip
? Very rare
? Wide array of phenotypes
Pharyngeal arches
ETIOPATHOGENESIS
ETIOPATHOGENESIS
They can be classified in to 4 groups
1. Chromosomal
2. Single gene
3. Multifactorial
4. Mitochondrial
ETIOPATHOGENESIS
Etiopathogenesis
3. Environmental factors
Maternal Smoking or tobacco
exposure
Viral infections
Poor nutrition
Drugs
Teratogens- Rubel a,
cortisone/steroids/ mercaptopurine
Methotrexate, Valium, Dilantin
Diagnosis
USG
Problems with clefts
Feeding problems
Oronasal fistula
Nasal regurgitation
Bottle cup, spoon feeding
30-45 deg angle to aid swallowing
Syndromes
? Inherited syndrome
Teratogenic syndrome
? Fetal alcohol syndrome
? Fetal phenytoin syndrome
? Fetal valproate syndrome
Management by Multidisciplinary approach
Cheiloplasty
Cleft palate surgery
Von langenback
VY palatoplasty by Veau
Furlows palatoplasty
Wardil-kilner Pushback palatoplasty
Bone grafting
Recent advances
Fetal endoscopic approach
Fetal surgery in intrauterine life (less than 20 weeks)
Open fetal surgery
Conclusion
? Second most common congenital anomaly
? Embryogenesis and etiology to be kept in mind
? Team approach
? Research to be aimed at Epigenetic modification
