Boy with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a caused by GNAS gene mutation (deltaN377), Crouzon-like craniosynostosis, and severe trauma-induced bleeding.

29 Jun 2009 We report on a 6-month-old boy with craniosynostosis, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1A), and a GNAS gene mutation. He had synostoses of the coronal, frontal, and sagittal sutures, brachyturricephaly, and hydrocephaly. He also had congenital ... Read more...

Comparison of periodontal parameters in individuals with syndromic craniosynostosis.

30 Dec 2008 Craniosynostosis syndromes are characterized by premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, associated with other malformations, the most frequent of which are the Crouzon and Apert syndromes. Few studies in the literature have addressed the ... Read more...

13 Apr 2008 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effects of upper airway stenosis after Le Fort III osteotomy and midfacial distraction osteogenesis (DO). METHODS: Eleven cases (age, 5-16 yrs) with severe midface dysostosis complicated with exophthalmos, ... Read more...
