List 4 primary surgical interventions for clefts & traditional age of surgery
Lip closure (0;6)

Talk about Alveolar Bone Grafting

Syndromic vs. non-Syndromic CLP
30% syndromic
70% non-syndromic
Define Syndrome
Recurrent pattern of symptoms of a multi-anomaly disorder related to a single cause (ie. a genetic cause)
Define Sequence
The recurrent pattern of symptoms of a multi-anomaly disorder related to an initial anomaly ('chain reaction'). Ex: micrognathia due to mechanical squeezing in utero leads to small oral cavity, leads to cleft palate (can't raise)
Define Association
2+ anomalies observed in a recurrent pattern but it is unclear if there is an underlying etiology (ie. if it is a syndrome or a sequence)
contrast deformation vs. malformation
Deformation: extrinsic cause, usually mechanical stress or compression
Malformation: intrinsic cause, ie. mutation in genetic code
List the 4 interocular measures (and associated syndromes)
Normal
Hypertelorism - eyes far apart, trouble with binocular vision (ex. apert, crouzon & 22q11 deletion syndromes)

-hypotelorism: close set eyes (ex. FAS, trisomy 8)
Describe the 3 orientations of palpebral fissues (orientation of eyes)
1. normal
2. upslant, may indicate microcephaly (brain doesn't push outward)
3. downslant (may be intracranial pressure)
What is brachydactyly? + syndromes
What is Arachnodactyly? + syndromes
B: short fingers/toes proportionally
-downs & cushing
A: abnormally long, slender fingers
-ex. marfan syndrome
What is Amnion Rupture Sequence?
Deformation
ADAM: amniotic deformity, adhesion, and mutation
-amniotic sac ruptures, bands attach to embryo and restrict growth
Describe Pierre-Robin
Deformation (if catch-up jaw growth is seen)
Malformation (if catch-up jaw growth not seen)
Symptoms: micrognathia, glossoptosis (potential apnea), cleft palate
-mechanical compression in utero (jaw doesn't grow)
List treatments for resp distress (glossoptosis) in Pierre-Robin
1. tracheotomy + gastric tube
2. glossopexy (anterior fixation of tongue)
3. mandibular distraction (make jaw grow, attach a weight)
4. mandibular distraction osteogenesis (not for newborns)
What are potential feeding problems for children with Pierre-Robin?
-suckling, swallowing & breathing (usually proportional to airway probs)
-can't bring tongue forward enough to suckle (glossoptosis), mandible too far back
-cleft does not allow build-up of negative intraoral pressure
-GERD tendency
Feeding treatment options for Pierre-Robin
-Positioning (on the side)
-pacifier (encourage forward tongue movement)
-Modified nipples & bottles (Habermann feeder)
-Nasogastic NG tube, G-tube
-reflux meds

What are anomalous features of VCFS/22q11?
