Effect of a syndromic diagnosis on mandibular size and sagittal position in Robin sequence.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Despite its pathogenic heterogeneity, it is often assumed that the small mandible in a neonate with Robin sequence will not grow normally. The purpose of this study was to determine mandibular length and position in patients with ... Read more...

A surgical strategy for the correction of Fraser syndrome cryptophthalmos.

27 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: To describe a systematic approach for managing the structural adnexal anomalies encountered in Fraser syndrome, a multisystem, autosomal recessive condition associated with cryptophthalmos. DESIGN: Retrospective, noncomparative, ... Read more...

Alobar holoprosencephaly associated with cebocephaly and craniosynostosis.

30 May 2009 Cebocephaly is a very rare congenital midline facial anomaly characterized by a blind-ended single nostril and ocular hypotelorism, and is usually combined with alobar holoprosencephaly. We report here a case of alobar holoprosencephaly with ... Read more...
