The findings in the present patient are most compatible with the diagnosis of a spondylothoracic dysostosis with a set of uncommon anomalies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical Testing and Workup X-rays (radiographs) of the spine can show characteristic changes to the spine and ribs that characterized spondylocostal dysplasia. [rarediseases.org]

• Small Kidney

  The child also had small kidneys bilaterally, rectal atresia and an absent anus with rectovaginal fistula. These clinical findings suggest a new form of acrofacial dysostosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Atelectasis

  A follow-up CT scan showed a reduction in the volume of the posterobasal atelectasis. The evolution of this patient suggests that the combined use of VEPTR for thoracic expansion and ventilation using NAVA can favour the global improvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The purpose of this paper is to describe the orthodontic treatment in a patient with cleidocranial dysostosis. Therapy may include removal of supernumerary teeth, surgical exposure of impacted teeth, and orthodontic treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Management and treatment Management includes intensive medical care, bone surgery, and orthopedic treatment. Prognosis ARSD may cause respiratory insufficiency that may lead to life-threatening complications in the first year of life. [orpha.net]

Sinus and middle ear infections are also common and require aggressive treatment. If your child has frequent middle ear infections, tympanostomy tubes may be recommended. [ucsfbenioffchildrens.org]

Treatment usually consists of intensive medical care, including early and aggressive treatment of respiratory infections, physical therapy, bone surgery, and orthopedic treatment. [6] [7] Surgery may then be needed for chest wall or spine deformities, [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

The prognosis of spondylothoracic dysostosis has worse than spondylocostal dysostosis, because of respiratory complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis ARSD may cause respiratory insufficiency that may lead to life-threatening complications in the first year of life. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Outlook (Prognosis) The bone symptoms cause few problems in most cases. Appropriate dental care is important. Possible Complications Complications include dental problems and shoulder dislocations. [mountsinai.org]

The overall prognosis of Nager AFD is good and after infancy most patients are healthy and presumed to have normal life span. [jofs.in]

The dental literature describing the oral manifestations and etiology of both syndromes is scarce. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Facial dysostosis refers to a clinically and etiologically heterogeneous groups of congenital craniofacial anomalies and arise as a result of abnormal development of the first and second pharyngeal arches and their derivatives during embryogenesis. [dnatesting.uchicago.edu]

Etiology So far, four genes, all involved in the Notch signalling pathway - DLL3 (19q13.2), MESP2 (15q26.1), LFNG (7p22.3) and HES7 (17p13.1) - have been identified but mutations in these genes do not account for all of the cases. [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]

Summary Epidemiology The incidence and prevalence are unknown. The disease seems to be more frequent in the Puerto Rican population. Clinical description ARSD is usually diagnosed in the neonatal period. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Prevalence of Treacher Collins syndrome is in the range 1 per 25,000 to 1 in 50,000 live births. [2] International Prevalence of Treacher Collins syndrome is in the range 1 per 25,000 to 1 in 50,000 live births. [2 [emedicine.medscape.com]

These are small tubes that are surgically placed into the eardrum to equalize pressure and aerate the middle ear, which helps prevent further infections and hearing loss. [ucsfbenioffchildrens.org]

Prevention Genetic counseling is appropriate if a person with a family or personal history of cleidocranial dysostosis is planning to have children. References Herring JA. Skeletal dysplasias. In: Herring JA, ed. [mountsinai.org]

Mutations in the MESP2 gene prevent the production of any protein or lead to the production of an abnormally short, nonfunctional protein. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

Around 5 years of age, surgical correction may be necessary to prevent any worsening of the deformity. If the mother has dysplasia, caesarian delivery may be necessary. Craniofacial surgery may be necessary to correct skull defects. [en.wikipedia.org]

Because of the role of RUNX2 in bone maintenance and ossification, bone mineral density should be monitored and preventive treatment for osteoporosis considered. [orpha.net]
