Cleft palate and congenital alveolar synechia is a rare syndrome. Only eight cases have been previously reported. It consists of a spectrum of facial anomalies always including cleft palate and congenital alveolar synechiae without other abnormalities. This report described an unusual case of congenital alveolar synechial band spanning posterior alveolar of the two jaws with cleft palate. Previously reported cases showed bilaterally or anteriorly located fibrous band. In our department, a new born revealed unilateral posterior synechia. Under brief intravenous sedation, synechium was divided using bipolar diathermy in the nursery at 3 days of age because of poor feeding. This division allowed full jaw opening after brief passive exercise. The patient is growing and maturing as expected with no complications. This patient is supposed to be the first reported case of isolated unilateral alveolar synechium combined with cleft palate in the worldwide.

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) has become popular for head and neck reconstructions. Owing to a constant anatomy the RFFF is relatively easy to dissect. Nevertheless, anatomical variations of the radial artery have been reported. Some variations could affect the survival of the flap. This paper reports an unusual anomaly of the radial artery where the radial artery was not located between the brachioradialis (BR) and flexor carpi radialis. The radial artery was observed above the BR and on the radial side of the BR. The survival of the elevated flap was deemed questionable because it had only few perforators. So we decided to discard the flap and to elevate another free flap for the head and neck defect. The donor area on the forearm was covered using the original skin of the first flap as a full-thickness skin graft. This case highlights a means to deal with anomalies of the radial artery encountered during the elevation of RFFF and the checking process for variations of the radial artery before RFFF.

The deletion of the distal long arm of chromosome 1 is associated with a characteristic facial appearance and a pattern of associated malformations. Characteristic manifestations include a round face with prominent 'cupid's bow' and downturned corners of the mouth, thin vermilion borders of lips, a long upper lip with a smooth philtrum, a short and broad nose, epicanthal folds, apparently low-set ears, micrognathia, microcephaly, abnormal hands and feet, variable cardiac or genital anomalies, moderate to severe mental retardation, and growth retardation. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis to map precisely the deletion, we present a case of chromosome 1q44 deletion with craniofacial characteristics, multiple congenital anomalies, and growth and psychomotor retardation. In comparison with other reported cases of 1q43-44 deletion, the subject does not show hydrocephalus, seizure, syn- or polydactyly of hands, and a urogenital anomaly. However, an arachnoid cyst, pinpoint dimple on the midline of the forehead, a right-sided supernumerary nipple and auricular pit, polydactyly of the right foot, adducted thumb, and flexion restriction of the proximal interphalangeal joint with a simian line in both hands were observed additionally.

악안면 수술에 있어서 악관절 및 교합은 미용적 측면에서 뿐만 아니라 그 기능적 측면에서 더욱 중요하다. 특히 하악이 고정된 경우뿐만 아니라 움직일 때 악관절 및 기능적 교합상태까지 보존 및 재건하고 정확한 수술을 하기 위해서 수술 전후에 적절한 MMF는 필수적이다. 이를 위해 저자들은 치열활봉에 대한 그 동안의 경험을 바탕으로 치열의 흐름에 대한 기본적 이론, 교합을 고려한 치열활봉의 거치방법 및 복잡한 교합평면을 가진 악안면 수술 환자들에 대해서 술전 인상을 이용한 치열활봉 거치법을 제안하는 바이다.

Sternal malformation/vascular dysplasia association is a rare congenital dysmorphology, which has not yet been reported in Korea. Its typical clinical features include a sternal cleft covered with atrophic skin, a median abdominal raphe extending from the sternal defect to the umbilicus, and cutaneous craniofacial hemangiomata. We report a case of a full-term newborn who presented with no anomalies at birth, except for a skin defect over the sternum and a supraumbilical raphe. Multiple hemangiomas appeared subsequently on her chin and upper chest wall, and respiratory distress due to subglottic hemangioma developed during the first 2 months of life. Her symptoms were controlled with oral prednisolone administration. No respiratory distress have recurred during the 3-year follow-up period.

The basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and skeletal abnormalities. We experienced two cases that represented several characteristics of BCNS. Case 1: a thirty three year-old man visited CSU hospital. His radiographs showed four cystic lesions at both maxillary sinus and both mandibular angle, with bifid rib and ectopic calcification of falx cerebri. After marsupialization and enucleation, recurrent and newly developing tendency were found on his follow-up radiographs. Case 2: a seventeen year-old man had four large cystic lesions which were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocysts. He had craniofacial anomalies which included ectopic calcification and frontal bossing.

저자는 Axenfeld-Rieger 증후군을 가지는 5세 8개월 연환에 대한 구강 및 두개 안면에 대한 임상적, 방사선학적 관찰을 통해 다음과 같은 지견을 얻었다. 1. 본 증례의 환아는 Axenfeld-Rieger 증후군의 전형적인 안과적, 구강적, 전신적 특징인 녹내장, 동공이상, 제탈장, 지연된 골령, 다수 치아 및 치배 결손, 상악 저성장 등을 보였다. 2. 이에 대한 주기적인 관찰과 적절한 시기의 치료개입이 중요하다. 3. 치과의사에 의한 조기진단이 녹내장 등에 의한 시력상실을 방지하기 위해 중요하다.

Raine 증후군은 안구돌출, 함몰된 코와 후비공 폐쇄 및 구개열과 하악골 발육부전 등의 특징적인 안면기형과 좁은 흉곽구조와 폐 발육 부전으로 인한 호흡부전, 전신 골격의 골경화, 뇌실질의 석회화 등을 특징으로 하는 매우 희귀하고 치명적인 질환이다. 아직까지 유전적인 결함부위는 알려져 있지 않은 상태이며 근친간인 부모 사이에서 발병이 많으며 남녀비의 차이가 별로 없으며 같은 형제 중에서도 이환된다는 사실로 보아 상염색체 열성으로 유전되는 질환이라는 것을 알 수 있고, 뇌 조직 검사상 저산소성 병변이나 괴사, 출혈, 감염이나 염증 등에 의한 2차적인 석회화가 아닌 칼슘 대사 이상에 의한 전신 골격의 골경화 와 두개 내의 석회화가 초래되는 질환으로 추정되고 있다. 본원에서는 상기한 특징적인 기형과 임상경과를 나타내는 매우 드문 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background: The pathogenesis of orofacial cleft (OFC) is multifactorial, involving both genetic and non-genetic factors, the latter of which play a key role in the development of these anomalies. This paper addresses the incidence of OFC in Indonesia, with a focus on identifying and examining the distribution of contributory factors, including parental medical history, pregnancy history, and environmental influences. Methods: The study was conducted through the collection of primary data. An interdisciplinary research team from Indonesia administered a standardized questionnaire to parents who had children with OFC and who had provided informed consent. The case group comprised 133 children born with cleft lip and/or palate, and the control was 133 noncleft children born full-term. The risk factors associated with OFC anomalies were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25. A p-value of 0.05 or less was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The study comprised 138 children, of whom 82 were boys (59.4%) and 56 were girls (40.6%). Among them, 45 patients (32.6%) presented with both cleft lip and cleft palate, 25 individuals (18.1%) had a cleft palate only, and 28 patients (20.3%) had a cleft lip only. OFC was found to be significantly associated with a maternal family history of congenital birth defects (p<0.05), complications during the first trimester (p<0.05), consumption of local fish (p<0.05), caffeine intake (p<0.05), prolonged medication use (p<0.05), immunization history (p<0.05), passive smoking (p<0.05), and X-ray exposure during pregnancy (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate close relationships between the incidence of OFC and maternal medical history, prenatal factors, and environmental influences.
