The inherited disease of unilateral anotia and ipsilateral Bell's palsy is exceedingly uncommon, but it has a few other clinical manifestations. The prevalence of anotia in combination with congenital Bell's palsy is well-known by Berry-Treacher Collins and Goldenhar syndrome. Despite the prevalence of anotia in combination with Bell's palsy, there have been relatively very few case reports about the corresponding conditions in India. The aim of the paper is to discuss the anesthesia plan for a seven-year-old boy who underwent surgery for tongue-tie release.

Background: Many uncommon and rare pediatric clinical syndromes including genetic and dysmorphic disorders are known to be associated with surgical conditions and require various types of surgical interventions. Little is known about the pattern of surgical conditions associated with the uncommon and rare childhood syndromes in Iraq. The aim of this paper to describe our experience with uncommon and rare childhood syndromes associated with surgical conditions observed in two tertiary referral centers in Baghdad. Patients and methods: Twenty one unrelated patients (10 males and 11 females) with uncommon and rare syndromes associated with surgical conditions were observed. The patient’s age ranged from 3 days to 18 years. The patients were observed during the period from 1994 to December 2019 in two tertiary referral teaching hospitals (University Hospital in Al-Kadhimiyia which was called later “Al-Kadhimiyia Teaching Hospital” and the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City). Results: The twenty one patients had seventeen uncommon and rare syndromes associated with surgical conditions including ocular conditions (Cataracts and glaucoma), congenital heart disease, gastrointestinal surgical conditions (Imperforated anus, congenital primary cricopharyngeal achalasia, omphalocele and neonatal Hirschsprung disease), urologic surgical condition (Undescended testes) and orthopedic surgical conditions. (Hip dislocation and multiple fractures), gynecologic ocular conditions (Hematocolpos which is caused by hemivaginal obstruction) and surgical conditions needing plastic surgeries. Conclusion: This unique series of pediatric syndromes associated with surgical conditions included a new Iraqi variant of oculocerebrorenal syndrome, the cases number 35 and 36 of cutis laxa type II (Debre type) in the literature, the case number 52 of Ruprecht Majewski-Bosma syndrome in literature, the 58th case of Toriello-Carey syndrome in the literature, the case number 130 of Townes Brocks syndrome, the twenty eighth case of congenital Chevalier Jackson in the literature, the thirty fourth case of Goldberg Shprintzen syndrome and the fourth patient in the literature with the syndrome of microtia/anotia syndrome and congenital facial palsy without other abnormalities.

Background: We have previously described our extensive experiences with clinical genetic and dysmorphology in a plethora of publications. In a previous study, we reported 43 children with uncommon, rare and very rare genetic and hereditary disorders whom were observed during three-year period (2016-2018). In that series, very rare genetic, the case number 104 of Sanjad-Sakati-Richardson-Kirk syndrome in the world, the case number 130 of Townes Brocks syndrome and the case number 170 of Coffin Siris syndrome in the world. The aim of this paper is to describe our 2019 extraordinary new experiences with genetic disorders and dysmorphic syndromes. Material and methods: During the year 2019, 37 patients (25 males and 12 female) with genetic disorders and dysmorphic syndromes and were studied at the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City. Their ages ranged from 2 days to sixteen years. Results: Eight patients had Down syndrome (6 boys and 2 girls), 5 patients had Cornelia De Lang syndrome (4 boys and one girl), 2 male patients had Fragile X-syndrome, 2 male patients with Prader Willi syndrome, two patients had Noonan syndrome (a boy and girl), 2 brothers had Goldberg Shprintzen syndrome. Ten patients each had Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, Virchow Seckel Syndrome, Mowat Wilson syndrome, Toriello-Carey Syndrome, Ruprecht Majewski-Bosma syndrome, congenital myotonic muscular dystrophy (Congenital dystrophia myotonica), extended Michelin tire baby, Congenital absent radii without thumb aplasia, Dandy walker syndrome and the syndrome of congenital facial palsy and unilateral anotia. In addition, six children patients had newly recognized syndromes (five boys and one girl). Many of the patients in this series were previously described or reported. Conclusion: This one-year Iraqi pioneering experience in the fields of clinical genetics and clinical dysmorphology should herald the end of the Dark Age in these fields in Iraq.
