M11: Face And Neck Flashcards
(73 cards)
When does development of the face occur, when is it complete
5 wks LMP
10 wks
What does the face develop from
5 main facial processes that move together and fuse:
1 frontonasal process
2 maxillary prominences
2 mandibular prominences
How does the frontonasal process of the face develop
What does it form
Starts superior and move inferiorly
Mid forehead, nose, central upper lip, central maxilla and anterior palate
Another name for anterior palate
Primary palate
How does the maxillary and mandibular prominences of the face develop
What do they form
Maxillary moves medially And fuse to form:
Cheeks
Lateral upper lip
Maxilla
Secondary palate
Mandible fuse to form the mandible
Another name for Secondary palate
Posterior palate
Describe the migration of the nose where does it start
Starts above the orbits as 2 widely spread nasal placodes that move medially and inferiorly
Define placodes
Areas of ectoderm tissues that form the sense organs
Describe the migration of the eyes
Where do they start
Start laterally and move medially
Describe the migration of the ears
Where do they start
Below the mandible and move laterally and upwards
Are facial anomalies common
What do they often cause
Yes
Polyhydramnios
facial anomalies are associated w/ what other anomalies
Other non-facial anomalies due to chromosomal abnorm.
What drugs/teratogens can affect the development of the face
Alcohol
Codeine
Valium
Anti-epileptics
Which chromo abnorm is commonly associated w facial anomalies
T13, then T18
What view do we assess the orbital distance, the lens and binocular distance
Axial view/BPD with the orbits and cranium in view
Which view is used to assess the nose/lips
What are we assessing for
Tangential coronal… important to have the soft tissues, not the bone
Intact upper lip
Presence of 2 nostrils
What do we asses for when scanning the profile
Prominence of chin and forehead
Protruding tongue or flattened nose
Assess for nasal bone
How should the alignment of the bones appear in the profile image
What about the forehead
Maxilla, nasal bone, chin
Forehead shouldn’t extend out to the same level of the other bones
When assessing the profile, how should the chin be positioned
Off the chest
Propose of 3D imaging
Give parents and surgeons an idea of what to expect at birth
How far apart should the orbits be
Separated by a distance of 1 orbit
Which measurement for the orbits can be used to date preg when BPD cant be obtained
Outer orbital distance
Describe anophthalmia
Congenital absence or severe hypoplasia or the eyes
LOOK FOR LENS
anophthalmia is associated w/ which chromo abnorm
T13
