Which describes the most likely etiology of HFM?

a. x-linked
b. autosomal recessive
c. FGF (fibroblast growth factor) receptor defect
d. Intrauterine vascular injury

d. Intrauterine vascular injury

Stapedial artery disruption in utero due to expanding hematoma affects blood supply to 1st and 2nd branchial arches.

Etiology is likely multifactorial with vascular disruption, teratogens, amniotic bands, hematoma formation, intrauterine compression, chromosomal defects, etc

In addition to the maxillomandibular anomalies, the most consistent finding in HFM is:

a. cataracts
b.tortuous internal carotid artery
c microtia
d single central incisor

c. Microtia = small ears

HFM clinically = mandibular hypoplasia which causes maxillary hypoplasia, occlusal cant with facial asymmetry, orbital asymmetry and crossbite/scissor bite.

A 7 year old with HFM with no condyle or ramus, severe deficiency of posterior facial height on the affected side and large maxillary occlusal cant. Patient is in orthodontics in preparation for surgery which should include:

a. DO of affected side of mandible
b. bilateral mandibular DO
c. Lefort I to level plane
d. chostochondral grafting

d. chostochondral grafting

Kaban type I correction with orthognathic sx

Kaban type II a and b with DO - some with asymmetric orthognathic sx if TMJ functioning well

Kaban type III requires bone grafting, transport DO, or TJR

In occlusal cant cases (type I and IIa) ortho appliances can be used to create open bite so maxilla can grow more on hypoplastic side

Which is associated with holoprosencephaly?

a. orbital hypertelorism
b. premaxillary hyperplaisa
c. mandibular deficiency
d. absence of nasal bones

Study These Flashcards

d. absence of nasal bones

Cerebral hemispheres dont divide into intwo two but remain as one in mindline with can cause lack of fusion in midline and development of bones in midline

Cyclops syndrome

Which is a feature of Treacher-Collins syndrome?

a. Malar hypoplasia
b. craniosynostosis
c. partial anodontia
d. bifid nose

Study These Flashcards

a. Malar hypoplasia - hypoplastic supra orbital rums and zygoma with antimongoloid slants

autosomal dominant with TREACLE gene mutation

1:10,000 prevalence

coloboma = notching of hole in structure of eye (lid, retina, optic disc)

In a patient with Treacehr-Collins syndrome, orbital and zygomatic reconstruction should be delayed until age?

a. 1-2 years
b 3-4 years
c. 8-10 years
d. 4-17 years

Study These Flashcards

c. 8-10 years

cranioorbital zygomatic growth is complete by age 7

requires ear reconstruction with rib cartilage at age 8

Orbital surgery at age 10

Orthognathic, bilateral DO, and orthodontics also needed

In single sutre craniosynositosis in which direction is cranial growth arrested?

A. parallel to affected suture

b. perpendicular to affected suture
c. parallel to open sutures
b. perpendicular to open sutures

Study These Flashcards

b. growth is arrest perpendicular to affected suture
- compensatory expansion parallel to suture fusion

Craniosynostosis is premature fusion of cranial sutures

CT image of a 3 month old demonstrates (sagitall suture is fused)

a. metopic synostosis
b. coronal synostosis
c. sagittal synostosis
d. lamdoid synostosis

Study These Flashcards

c. sagittal synostosis
= most common

Anterior to posterior
Metopic suture is frontal AP suture
Coronal is transverse
Sagittal is AP more posterior
Lamdoid is transverse in posterior

Premature fusion of metopic suture causes a. brachycephaly b. scaphocephaly c. trigonocephaly d. posterior plagiocephaly

c. trigonocephaly - anterior of head comes to a point | - triangular skull

In diagnosis a child with posterior cranial vault asymmetry characterized by unilateral flattening, benign positional skull molding must be differentiated from which synostosis? a. Lambdoid b. metopic c. sagittal d. bicoronal

a. Lambdoid synostosis = posterior plagiocephaly or flattening of the head in the posterior leading to asymmetric skull unilateral coronal leads to anterior plagiocephaly. Positional skull molding is from baby laying on one side to long and that side flattens

Scaphocephaly is commontly associated with which synostosis?

Sagittal - elongated head in AP direction Bicronoal synostosis leads to brachycephaly or widening of skull.

Most forms of craniofacial dysostosis syndromes (crouzon, Aperts, Saethre-chotzen) are: a. x linked recessive b x linked dominant c autosomal dominant d autosomal recessive

c autosomal dominant but they can be sporadic as well FGFR (fibroblast growth factor) genes implicated Patient usually have increased ICP, hydrocephalus, and MR

What is most appropriate treatment for this 6 month old ( CT shows left unilateral coronal synostosis) a. observation b. reshaping posterior 2/3 c. reshaping anterior cranial vault and fronto orbital advancement d. nonsurgical treatment with cranial orthotic band

c. reshaping anterior cranial vault and fronto orbital advancement tx - infancy use helmets sx- strip cranietomy to open sutures or barrelstave osteotomies to remodel skull or Lefort III with DO

In an infant undergoing craniofacial surgery with a transcranial approach, which is an early indicator of cerebral air embolus? a. decreased ETCO2 b. increased ETCO2 c. Oxygen desaturation d. Hypertension

a. decreased ETCO2 this is followed by hypotensive crisis air enters diploic channels in cut bone to venous circulation and ends up in right side of heart. At this point it can enter pulmonary circulation causing pulmonary HTN, or it can cross to left side of heart ( if foramen ovale is patent) and cause stroke.

Durign cranifacial surgery an air embolism is suspencted by the surgeon. which of the following is most helpful in controling entry of air into venous circulation? a. raising head above heart b. limiting irrigation in surgical field c. applying bone wax to cute bone edges d. administration of nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture

c. applying bone wax to cute bone edges

Are most cases of synostosis syndromic?

Most are nonsyndromic

Which cranial vault suture is most commonly associated with crouzon syndrome? a. lambdoid b. sagittal c. coronal d. metopic

c. coronal ``` Autosomal dominant Anterior brachicephaly (coronal synostosis) ``` more common and less severe than aperts

What are the 4 findings of crouzon syndrome

1. exorbitism/proptosis 2. retromaxilism (maxilla back and down) 3. inframaxillism 4. paradoxical retrogenia

the facial bipartition osteotomy differs from the monoblock osteotomy in that it: a, untilizes bifrontal craniotomy for intracranial approach b. allos for frontoorbital contouring at sx c allows for correction of orbital hypertelorism d. is more commonly used in reconstruction for crouzons

c allows for correction of orbital hypertelorism

when should primary cranioorbital surgery be performed on a newborn with crouzons? a. 4-12 months b. 13-24 months c. 3-5 years d. 7-10 years

a. 4-12 months

Which syndrome has bilateral complex syndactaly of fingers and toes? a. apert b. crouzon c. carpenter d. Saethre chotzen

a. apert Fusion of bicoronal sutures and midline sagittal suture antimongoloid slant shortened life span like crouzons but worse

Pfeiffer Syndrome?

Autosomal dominant Less severe than aperts but similar

Saethre-Chotzen syndrome?

Autosomal dominant Asymetric craniosynostosis frontal bossing low set ears peg laterals syndactaly

Carpenter Syndrome?

Autosomal recessive variable craniosynostosis

what is Pierre Robin sequence

Triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and u shaped cleft palate 65% associated with other syndromes with heart defect, ocular issues, neuro issues hypoplastic mandible prevents tongue decent between palatal shelves creating cleft Airway issue at birth = exit procedure or stat trach

a child born with isolated CP and severe myopia most likely has? a. Pierre robin b stickler syndrome c. van der Woude syndrome d. velocardiofacial syndrome
