Cranio-carpo-tarsal Dysplasia or The Whistling Face Syndrome

Characteristics of patients with congenital clasped thumb: A prospective study of 40 patients with the results of treatment

“…This study confirms the previously reported high incidence of associated congenital anomalies with clasped thumb [1,3,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. About 77.5% of our patients were found to have associated anomalies; this value differs according to the number of syndromes included in the literature, and no previous literature studied the incidence of congenital anomalies with clasped thumb, as the different syndromes were studied separately or the literature contains case reports of certain syndromes.…”

A Novel Nonoperative Technique in the Initial Management and Treatment of Congenital Microstomia

“…Once secured properly, the plastic surgery team inflated the balloon daily until the final diameter of 25 mm was achieved. The final diameter distance was based on the normal intercommissural size for an infant male at 1 year of age of 32 mm as documented by Cervenka et al (1969). To maintain the dilation, the dental team was consulted to fabricate an oral splint.…”

Clinical applications of physical anthropology

“…Various body dimensions and proportions, not commonly used in anthropometry or clinical medicine, have become important for the delineation of malformation syndromes and for therapeutic intervention, i.e., orthodontia, plastic, and craniofacial surgery. Age-specific reference data for several measurements, for example, ear length and width, intercanthal and interpupillary distances, palpebral fissure width, philtrum length, mouth width, and a number of facial proportions have been developed (Cervenka, 1969;Feingold and Bossert, 1974;Jones et al, 1978;Farkas, 1979;Miller et al, 1980;MBhes, 1981). However, more remains to be done in this vast, almost uncharted area of dysmorphology, and joint exploration by clinicians and physical anthropologists is indicated.…”
