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]
In this case, the ophthalmic manifestations included lacrimal sac fistula, orbital dermoid cyst, iris pigment epithelial cyst, and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinalpigment epithelium.[experts.umich.edu]
Ocular findings such as “salt-and-pepper” appearence of retinalpigmention, cataract, sensorineural deafness and mental retardation are other features of this syndrome which causes a short life span.[otolaryngologygr.blogspot.com]
One patient presented brainstem immaturity with dysregulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which have so far not been described in the literature and were associated with anxiety, panicattacks, and tiredness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
nasalbridge 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), broadnasalbridge, 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, broadnasalbridge, and high forehead. Pseudo-cleft is a particularly helpful clinical feature that is highly specific to this syndrome.[molvis.org]
Other anomalies, in addition to the familiar cardinal features of BOFS, included facial nerve weakness (n 6), chindimple 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]
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]
TreatmentTreatment 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]
PrognosisPrognosis 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]

Both anophthalmia and microphthalmia may occur in isolation or as part of a syndrome as in one-third of cases. (1) Anophthalmia/ microphthalmia have a complex etiology with chromosomal, monogenic and environmental causes.[rmsjournal.org]
Summary Epidemiology About fifty cases have been reported so far.[orpha.net]
Chapters on epidemiology, embryology, non-syndromic hearing loss, and syndromic forms of hearing loss have all been updated with particular attention to the vast amount of new information on molecular mechanisms, and chapters on clinical and molecular[books.google.de]
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]
