The authors present the case of an infant with an unconventional presentation of BOFS to highlight key distinguishing features of this disorder, and to emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management of these patients [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Skin Lesion

  Management and treatment Management is symptomatic and includes combined treatments for hearing impairment and for skin lesions. Prognosis Prognosis is function of the severity of associated manifestations. [orpha.net]

  These consist of branchial anomalies, including supra-auricular sinuses, and aplastic cervical skin lesions, with possible ectopic dermal thymus, malformed auricles, stenotic external auditory canals, conductive hearing loss, ocular abnormalities (microphthalmia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cutaneous Manifestation

  These cutaneous manifestations can vary from Keloid-like and scar-like lesions to eroded, unepithelialized skin.[4],[5] In some cases, this skin defect manifests as hemangiomatous lesions.[6],[7] Very little data exist regarding the histopathological [go.gale.com]

• Retinal Pigmentation

  In this case, the ophthalmic manifestations included lacrimal sac fistula, orbital dermoid cyst, iris pigment epithelial cyst, and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium. [experts.umich.edu]

• Small Palpebral Fissures

  On clinical examination, he presented growth retardation, epicanthal folds, small palpebral fissures, telecanthus, broadened nasal bridge, lip pseudocleft, micrognathia, dysplastic and posteriorly-rotated ears, branchial clefts, short and webbed neck, [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Broad Nasal Bridge

  nasal bridge with a flattened nasal tip, a protruding upper lip with an unusually broad and prominent philtrum, and full mouth. [orpha.net]

  His obvious symptoms were holes in both sides of the neck (he had surgery at 6 months of age), broad nasal bridge, nasal duct obstruction, pseudocleft of the upper lip, submucos cleft palate, microphthalmia, and squint eye (more dropping in right eye) [jmums.mazums.ac.ir]

  Craniofacial defects include pseudo-cleft/cleft lip, broad nasal bridge, and high forehead. Pseudo-cleft is a particularly helpful clinical feature that is highly specific to this syndrome. [molvis.org]

• Chin Dimples

  Other anomalies, in addition to the familiar cardinal features of BOFS, included facial nerve weakness (n 6), chin dimple or cleft of the lower lip (n 4), upper labial pits (n 6), minor digital anomalies (n 12), renal anomalies (n 14), and ectopic thymus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Protruding Lips

Management and treatment Management is symptomatic and includes combined treatments for hearing impairment and for skin lesions. Prognosis Prognosis is function of the severity of associated manifestations. [orpha.net]

Treatment Treatment Options: Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach with oculoplastic, ophthalmic, and ENT surgeons. Physical, speech, hearing, and learning specialists can be helpful. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis Prognosis is function of the severity of associated manifestations. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Etiology BOFS is caused by mutations involving the gene TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha; 6p24). Diagnostic methods Diagnosis is clinical and may be confirmed by DNA analysis. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology It was estimated that only about 50 cases of BOFS have been documented in the medical literature as of 2004. [4] References [ipfs.io]

This syndrome is restricted to the face, but it can also cause underdeveloped or malformed kidneys. [3] Pathophysiology and genetics The disease is genetically inherited and stems from a mutation that deletes the TFAP2A gene. [ipfs.io]
