“…Sleep disorders occur more commonly in children with craniofacial syndromes (Shadfar et al 2012), and sleepdisordered breathing can lead to adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, neurocognitive function, and growth. Obstructive sleep apnea has been reported in children with NS (Khirani et al 2012) and has the potential to be lifethreatening if untreated.…”

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a relatively common genetic syndrome with variable features including short stature, congenital heart disease, distinctive facial characteristics, skeletal anomalies, and varying degrees of developmental delay. NS is caused by gene mutations in a cellular signaling pathway that is essential for typical growth and development. Research in the past few decades has revealed that individuals with NS have highly variable neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes. To a certain extent, variability in cognitive functioning depends on the particular gene where a mutation is found; additionally, factors related to medical severity and environmental effects contribute substantially to outcomes. This article contains a systematic review of research on neuropsychological features of NS, including cognition, motor development, language, memory, attention, visual perception, adaptive behavior, social skills, and mental health concerns. Given the wide variety of possible cognitive and behavioral complications associated with NS, it is recommended that clinical neuropsychological evaluation of cognitive, adaptive, and psychological domains of functioning should be standard of care for all individuals with NS. Suggested considerations for assessment of individuals with NS are provided. The paper concludes with recommendations for educational and therapeutic interventions, as well as suggestions for future research directions.

Airway challenges in an adult with hemifacial microsomia along with neglected cleft palate: what to expect?

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A female patient in her early 20s, with a known diagnosis of hemifacial microsomia (unilateral microtia and mandibular hypoplasia) accompanied with an unoperated cleft palate, came for an infected mandibular distraction plate removal. The anticipated difficult airway and lack of enough literature about what to expect in such a scenario, along with the psychological impact on the patient, made this case challenging and thought-provoking. Inability to perform the awake tracheal intubation because of the uncooperative patient, along with the difficult fibreoptic owing to narrowed nostrils, offered an extra set of challenges.
