Cephalometric findings in patients with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome

Anesthesia Management of a Patient with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome: A Case Report

“…In these cases, extraction of very loose teeth is recommended before anesthesia but we can use silk suture to help difficult airway management if there are many lost teeth. In addition, decreased lower facial height, retroclined mandibular incisors, upper lip retrusion, or maxillary retrognathia might be a reason for difficult airway management ( 9 ). As our patient had lost all permanent teeth, there was not the problem of difficult laryngoscopy; however, difficult bag mask ventilation might be resulted from complete loss of teeth and micrognathia.…”

A Study of Facial Pattern in Patients with Fanconi Anemia

“…Review of the literature failed to find studies that assessed craniofacial skeletal relationship and facial vertical growth pattern of individuals with FA, although some researchers state that there are craniofacial alterations in these patients pe Kerviler et al, 2000; Alter and Lipton, 2008; Green and Kupfer, 2009). Other syndromes were studied by cephalometric evaluation in order to observe variations in normality patterns (Quintanilla et al, 2002; Tarjan et al, 2005; Bindayel et al, 2008; Chong et al, 2008; Leonardi et al, 2009; Tuna et al, 2009).…”

“…Several researchers have used cephalometric analysis to assess osseous discrepancies and facial patterns in syndromic patients with the purpose of understanding typical features of each syndrome and helping surgical and dental treatment (Tarjan et al, 2005; Bindayel et al, 2008; Chong et al, 2008; Tuna et al, 2009; Leonardi et al, 2009).…”

Anesthetic management in a patient with papillion lefevre syndrome

“…The cephalometric findings of maxillary retrognathia, decreased lower facial height, retroclined mandibular incisiors and upper lip retrusion may be a cause for difficult intubation. [3]…”
