OBJECTIVES To analyze variants of the craniofacial phenotypes in children with velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) and children with cleft palates with a new protocol of landmarks using a three-dimensional computed tomography (CT)-reconstructed model in a cross-sectional group experimental design. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present a retrospectively reviewed case series of 21 patients with VCFS, v...

Background: The correction of craniofacial deformities is an ongoing challenge in maxillofacial surgery. However, conventional measurement methods for treatment planning are not appropriate Computer-assisted approaches can improve surgical outcomes. A new, non-invasive, patient-specific automatic method, proposed here, has been tested assisting the surgeon preoperative planning. Case Presentati...

Background: Occurrence of congenital anomalies are less common in small ruminants, especially goats compared to sheep. Most cause for the deformities new born ruminants is due ingestion toxic plants during gestation. Congenital meningoencephalocoele with associated craniofacial a rare occurrence goats. Materials: A day old crossbred kid was presented cranial defects and protrusion brain through...

Background and Objective: The craniofacial structures are complex esthetically the most important component of appearance. Defects in this region lead to noticeable deformities that physically psychologically devastating patients. Advances grafting tissue transfer techniques have improved surgical outcomes but our ability fully regenerate lost or defective is limited. purpose narrative review g...

Background: Patients with craniofacial clefts who have had reconstructive surgery often develop problems, such as contour deformity that will cause psychological issues. Micro and nano fat grafting are various methods utilized to overcome these Case Operation Technique: This case series describes two patients facial deformities due Tessier 3 4 clefts, respectively. Each patient underwent second...

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis, a debilitating disease mainly affecting children, is characterized by progressive restriction of mouth opening and maxilla-mandibular developmental deformities. Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis has been developed as a standard surgical strategy for rectification of craniofacial deformities. The purpose of this study was to assess mono-planar distraction d...

Median cleft is the midline cleft of the lip. It develops due to incomplete or failed fusion of the median nasal prominence. It can present with minimal deformities such as involvement of the vermilion border, or complex clefting of the midline structures and brain. Median clefts are broadly classified as true and false clefts. This case report describes a rare case of median cleft of the upper...

A variety of congenital syndromes affecting the face occur due to defects involving the first and second BAs. Radiographic evaluation of craniofacial deformities is necessary to define aberrant anatomy, plan surgical procedures, and evaluate the effects of craniofacial growth and surgical reconstructions. High-resolution CT has proved vital in determining the nature and extent of these syndrome...

We describe the novel solution adopted in positioning middle ear implant in a child with bilateral congenital aural atresia and craniofacial dysmorphism that have posed a significant challenge for the safe and correct management of deafness. A five-year-old child, affected by a rare congenital disease (Van Maldergem Syndrome), suffered from conductive hearing loss. Conventional skin-drive bone-...
