The coordinate transformation approach outlined by D'Arcy Thompson for analysing biological shape was extended using modern computerised image processing techniques so that it could be applied to photographs for the study of patients with syndromes of altered facial morphogenesis. Photographs digitised at a resolution of 512 by 480 pixels were subjected to 'rubbersheeting' transformations using...

Prenatal exposure to alcohol (ethanol) results in a continuum of physical, neurological, behavioral, and learning defects collectively grouped under the heading Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome [4] (FAS) was first defined in 1973 as a condition characterized by preand postnatal growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, and defects of the central nervous system [5]...

When the unaffected facial nerve was stimulated in 30 patients with facial palsy, evoked action potentials could be recorded from the contralateral (paralysed) perioral muscles. Similarly, in four normal subjects responses were evoked contralateral to the stimulated facial nerve. The latency of these responses in the patients remained unchanged over several months, and they were conducted at a ...

Popliteal peterigion (Web) syndrome, a rare heritable disease of multiple anomalies; characterized by hard sclerotic areas extending from the sole of the feet up to ischiatic tuberosity along the posterior aspect of lower exteremities at the midline.  Varients of this syndrome with different severity are reported: severcre of which present in addition to cardinal feature; palpebral adhesions, s...

A 20-year-old male was referred to the Department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Trinity Hospital, Aizawl-Mizoram on July 4th,2022 with a history Road traffic accident (RTA). The patient unconscious taken operation theatre had multiple facial injuries. frontal bone fracture sinus injury noticed starry sky approach used under GA.

lip pits are among the rarest congenital deformities recorded. initially reported in 1845, it’s familial occurrence has been reported just once. these developmental anomalies occur either as an isolated defect or in association with other developmental deformities including cleft lip, cleft palate or both. it may be located at the commisures of the lips or in the midline of the lower lip. it is...

OBJECTIVE We sought to categorize the structural brain anomalies associated with abnormalities of the corpus callosum and anterior and hippocampal commissures in a large cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Brain MR images of adult and pediatric patients from our institution and from a national support organization (the ACC Network) were retrospectively evaluated for the type and severity of commiss...

INTRODUCTION Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of the penis, in which there is incomplete development of the distal urethra. There are numerous reports showing na increase of prevalence of hypospadias. Association of craniofacial malformations in patients diagnosed with hypospadias is rare. The aim of this study is to describe the association between hypospadias and craniofacial congenita...

Pituitary duplication is a rare malformation, reported previously in approximately 18 patients. It is usually unsuspected before imaging, although it occurs most commonly in association with complicated midline and skull base anomalies. It is easily shown by MR imaging. Five new cases of pituitary duplication were diagnosed by using MR imaging studies reviewed at the Hospital for Sick Children....
