morning glory syndrome (mgs) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly characterized by a funnel-shaped, excavated optic disc surrounded by chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance. the main ophthalomoscopic feature of the mgs is enlarged optic disc with a funnel shaped scleral defect; elevated peripapillary chorioretinal pigmentation; and pale fluffy tissue of glial hyperplasia overlying the optic d...

Bone deformities are one of the main effects crude oil exposure in marine fish larvae. Craniofacial and jaw deformities, if severe enough, may restrict feeding ultimately kill developing This study aimed to examine impact dispersed on bone development Atlantic haddock ( Melanogrammus aeglefinus ) larvae, a species spawning areas approached for gas exploration North Ocean. larvae were exposed lo...

We describe the dental and craniofacial anomalies of 2 ethnically distinct patients with Goldenhar syndrome, which is characterized by hemifacial microsomia, facial asymmetry, and ear and dental abnormalities. A 7-year-old Japanese girl and 12-year-old Turkish boy with Goldenhar syndrome were examined clinically and radiographically; both had symptoms of hemifacial microsomia. Multiple organ in...

Frontonasal Dysplasia (FND) is a rare disorder characterized by deformities of variable severity affecting the craniofacial region. FND with bilateral anophthalmia has not been reported yet in the literature. Maxillofacial surgery should be considered for all patients for whom improvement is possible. But in countries like Pakistan where there are considerable limitations in provision of social...

Bone grafts are used for the reconstruction of congenital and acquired deformities of the facial skeleton and, as such, comprise a vital component of the craniofacial surgeon's armamentarium. A thorough understanding of bone graft physiology and the factors that affect graft behavior is therefore essential in developing a more intelligent use of bone grafts in clinical practice. This article pr...

The purpose of this article is to report the case of a 10-year-old girl born with anophthalmia, bilateral oblique facial clefts, and missing scalp and bones over the temporal and parietal areas of the cranial vault bilaterally. Early amnion rupture seems to be the most probable cause of this rare combination of anomalies. Because no similar case has been reported in the literature so far, we de...

Congenital amniotic band syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality with multiple disfiguring and disabling manifestations. A wide variety of clinical deformities are encountered, ranging from simple ring constrictions and minor digital defects to major craniofacial and visceral defects [1]. The abdomen is a rare location, and thus far, only a few cases of the abovementioned syndrome in the abdo...

Congenital macrostomia or transverse facial cleft is a rare congenital craniofacial anomaly, which affects the esthetics and functions of oral cavity. It is usually associated with deformities of other structures developed from the first and second branchial arches. Bilateral transverse cleft, occurring alone is uncommon. Since the deformity is rare, its treatment has not been commonly describe...

We present a case of a 3-month-old female with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) undergoing general anesthesia for laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement with a focus on airway management. WHS is a rare 4p microdeletion syndrome resulting in multiple congenital abnormalities, including craniofacial deformities. Microcephaly, micrognathia, and glossoptosis are common features in WHS patients and r...
