“…Cleft lips/palates were a differential finding between the RDG and SHCG and have been reported in at least 145 RDs [6]. As with previous publications, we detected in the present series clefts in patients diagnosed, among others, with encephalocele [32], Dandy-Walker syndrome [33], CHARGE syndrome [34], Pierre Robin syndrome [35] and Goldenhar syndrome [36].…”

The available literature on the orthodontic treatment of patients with rare disorders is extremely scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnosis and orthodontic treatment of a group of 94 individuals with rare diseases, referred for orthodontic evaluation to a university special care dentistry center (University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain). We created a control group of 94 systemically healthy individuals, paired by sex and age range. For all participants, we recorded their dental and skeletal abnormalities, oromotor dysfunctions and the characteristics of their orthodontic treatment. Some of the morphological and functional abnormalities were more prevalent in the rare disorders group than in the control group, including dental agenesis, microdontia, enamel defects, maxillary hypoplasia, overbite, cleft lip/palate, mouth breathing, atypical swallowing, lingual/labial interposition, labial incompetence, modified consistency diet, bruxism, and muscle tone abnormalities. Compared with the control group, the 56 patients with rare disorders who underwent orthodontic treatment required more desensitization sessions, used mixed appliances (fixed and removable) more often and for longer periods and had more frequent complications, such as gingivitis, caries, mucosal ulcers and recurrent debonding of the device. In conclusion, for selected patients with rare disorders, it is feasible to perform orthodontic treatment, whose planning will be determined by the dental-skeletal abnormalities and oromotor dysfunctions. Although complications are more frequent, they can typically be solved without having to stop treatment.

“…Additionally, cleft lip and palate, facial retrognathia, high-arched palate, and abnormal dentition are observed with increased frequencies in patients with DWS [5]. Major concerns of the anesthesiologist should be the difficult airway and neurological problems such as increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain stem dysfunction in patients with DWS [3].…”

Dandy-Walker Syndrome (DWS) is an intrauterine developmental anomaly, which consists of 4-12% of all infants having hydrocephalus its prevalence is 1/30000 in all live births [1,2]. Cranio-facial anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, micrognathia and hypertelorism, together with cardiac and renal anomalies, limb anomalies (syndactyly, polydactyly, etc.) and vertebral anomalies can all be detected in patients with DWS. They may have to undergo a single operation or a series of operations during their childhood period, related to these anomalies. Additionally, these patients may present with features of a difficult airway, together with neurological disorders such as increased intracranial pressure and brain stem dysfunction. All of these situations create numerous serious challenges to the anesthesiologist [3,4]. We were unable to meet any report published in the literature, related to the anesthetic management of patients with DWS until now. We aimed to present our anesthetic management, in a newborn male patient with Dandy-Walker Syndrome, in whom we used caudal block for umbilical cord hernia repair.
