  • New Guidelines Review Evidence on PT, Helmets for Positional Plagiocephaly by Sandi K
    Neurologic Disorders, Neurological Surgery, News Articles New guidelines review evidence on PT, helmets for positional plagiocephaly by Sandi K. Lam M.D., M.B.A., FACS; Thomas G. Luerssen M.D., FACS, FAAP Positional plagiocephaly is a common condition encountered by pediatricians and referred to pediatric subspecialty physicians such as neurosurgeons and plastic surgeons. About one in four U.S. infants has some degree of positional plagiocephaly. The incidence has increased since the Academy initiated the Back to Sleep campaign in 1994 to prevent sudden infant death syndrome. Due to practice variation in diagnosis and treatment paradigms for this common condition, the Joint Section on Pediatric Neurosurgery of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) sought to develop evidence-based management guidelines. A multidisciplinary task force conducted a systematic review of the literature from 1966 to October 2014 on pediatric plagiocephaly. Nearly 400 abstracts were reviewed yielding 110 articles for full review; 60 were deemed relevant. The task force made 10 recommendations pertaining to imaging diagnosis, repositioning, physical therapy and helmet orthoses. The guidelines are published in CNS' journal Neurosurgery and have been endorsed by the Academy. They are available at http://bit.ly/2d7NzS1. Definition of positional plagiocephaly In the guidelines, the term positional plagiocephaly encompasses both positional occipital plagiocephaly (unilateral flattening of parieto-occipital region, compensatory anterior shift of the ipsilateral ear, bulging of the ipsilateral forehead) and positional brachycephaly (symmetric flattening of the occiput, foreshortened anterior- posterior dimension of the skull, compensatory biparietal widening) and the combination of both of these deformities.

Dysmorphology and Dysfunction in the Brain and Calvarial Vault of Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis Yale University School of Medicine in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine by Joel Stanley Beckett 2013 Abstract Craniosynostosis is a premature pathologic fusion of one or more sutures in the calvarial vault. The six calvarial sutures are growth sites between adjacent intramembranous bones, which allow for flexibility during passage through the birth canal and accommodation for the growing brain. (1) Premature fusion results in obvious cranial morphologic abnormality and can be associated with elevated intracranial pressure, visual dysfunction, mental retardation and various forms of subtler learning disability. (2) A category of disease called isolated nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) represents nearly 85% of cases.

  • Endoscopy-Assisted Early Correction of Single-Suture Metopic Craniosynostosis: a 19-Year Experience
    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Pediatr 23:61–74, 2019 Endoscopy-assisted early correction of single-suture metopic craniosynostosis: a 19-year experience David F. Jimenez, MD,1 Michael J. McGinity, MD,1 and Constance M. Barone, MD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, University of Texas Health San Antonio; and 2Cosmetic Surgery Center, San Antonio, Texas OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to present the authors’ 19-year experience treating metopic craniosynos- tosis by using an endoscopy-assisted technique and postoperative cranial orthotic therapy. The authors also aimed to provide a comprehensive, comparative statistical analysis of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) versus open surgery in reports previously published in the literature (through 2014) regarding only patients with metopic synostosis. METHODS A total of 141 patients with single-suture metopic nonsyndromic craniosynostosis sutures were treated between 1998 and 2017 by endoscopically resecting the synostosed bone followed by postoperative custom cranial orthosis use. All data used in the case series were collected prospectively and stored in a secure database. A compre- hensive literature review was performed that included all previous case series reporting common surgical performance measures. A statistical comparison of traditional open methods versus MIS techniques was performed with regard to age, length of hospital stay (LOS), surgical time, estimated blood loss (EBL), and transfusion rate. RESULTS The mean age at the time of surgery in the current series was 4.1 months. The mean EBL was 33 ml (range 5–250 ml). One patient underwent an intraoperative blood transfusion and 5 underwent postoperative blood transfu- sion for a total transfusion rate of 4.3%.

  • Blueprint Genetics Craniosynostosis Panel
    Craniosynostosis Panel Test code: MA2901 Is a 38 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with craniosynostosis. About Craniosynostosis Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures leading to secondary distortion of skull shape. It may result from a primary defect of ossification (primary craniosynostosis) or, more commonly, from a failure of brain growth (secondary craniosynostosis). Premature closure of the sutures (fibrous joints) causes the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull or facial bones to change from a normal, symmetrical appearance resulting in skull deformities with a variable presentation. Craniosynostosis may occur in an isolated setting or as part of a syndrome with a variety of inheritance patterns and reccurrence risks. Craniosynostosis occurs in 1/2,200 live births.

  • MECHANISMS in ENDOCRINOLOGY: Novel Genetic Causes of Short Stature
    J M Wit and others Genetics of short stature 174:4 R145–R173 Review MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY Novel genetic causes of short stature 1 1 2 2 Jan M Wit , Wilma Oostdijk , Monique Losekoot , Hermine A van Duyvenvoorde , Correspondence Claudia A L Ruivenkamp2 and Sarina G Kant2 should be addressed to J M Wit Departments of 1Paediatrics and 2Clinical Genetics, Leiden University Medical Center, PO Box 9600, 2300 RC Leiden, Email The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract The fast technological development, particularly single nucleotide polymorphism array, array-comparative genomic hybridization, and whole exome sequencing, has led to the discovery of many novel genetic causes of growth failure. In this review we discuss a selection of these, according to a diagnostic classification centred on the epiphyseal growth plate. We successively discuss disorders in hormone signalling, paracrine factors, matrix molecules, intracellular pathways, and fundamental cellular processes, followed by chromosomal aberrations including copy number variants (CNVs) and imprinting disorders associated with short stature. Many novel causes of GH deficiency (GHD) as part of combined pituitary hormone deficiency have been uncovered. The most frequent genetic causes of isolated GHD are GH1 and GHRHR defects, but several novel causes have recently been found, such as GHSR, RNPC3, and IFT172 mutations. Besides well-defined causes of GH insensitivity (GHR, STAT5B, IGFALS, IGF1 defects), disorders of NFkB signalling, STAT3 and IGF2 have recently been discovered. Heterozygous IGF1R defects are a relatively frequent cause of prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. TRHA mutations cause a syndromic form of short stature with elevated T3/T4 ratio. Disorders of signalling of various paracrine factors (FGFs, BMPs, WNTs, PTHrP/IHH, and CNP/NPR2) or genetic defects affecting cartilage extracellular matrix usually cause disproportionate short stature.

  • Occipital Plagiocephaly: a Critical Review of the Literature
    Occipital plagiocephaly: a critical review of the literature Harold L. Rekate, M.D. Pediatric Neurosurgery, Barrow Neurologic Institute, Phoenix, Arizona The objective of this review was to determine what information is available on the incidence, pathophysiology, late complications, and treatment paradigms for occipital plagiocephaly based on a critical review of the literature obtained from recognized databases in peer-reviewed scientific publications. The content of this article is based on a critical review of the literature, and when discussing treatment options, classification of those articles with respect to the strength of the recommendations they contain. Using standard computerized search techniques, databases containing medical literature were queried for key words related to occipital plagiocephaly beginning in 1966. Key words used for this search were: lambdoid, craniosynostosis, cranial sutures, facial asymmetry, torticollis, and plagiocephaly. Titles of all articles were scanned for relevance. Copies of all potentially relevant articles published in the English language were obtained and received at least a cursory review. Several articles not captured by these methods were found to be important when referenced in the articles obtained. Articles discussing treatment were divided into Class I, Class II, and Class III data for the purpose of deciding on their applicability to the development of a potential consensus for the treatment of this controversial condition. Using the aforementioned key words, there were 4308 articles identified with potential relevance: scanning by title excluded all but 89. Of the 89, those with on-line abstracts were scanned, the remainder were obtained via interlibrary loan when needed for scanning of the article itself. The actual incidence of occipital plagiocephaly is unknown and there are no population-based studies of its incidence or prevalence.

  • Cell Lines Or Lymphocytes Collected from Blood Via Trizol HDAC4 in Each of These Cases Revealed De Novo Mutations
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector ARTICLE Haploinsufficiency of HDAC4 Causes Brachydactyly Mental Retardation Syndrome, with Brachydactyly Type E, Developmental Delays, and Behavioral Problems Stephen R. Williams,1 Micheala A. Aldred,3 Vazken M. Der Kaloustian,4,6 Fahed Halal,5 Gordon Gowans,7 D. Ross McLeod,8 Sara Zondag,9 Helga V. Toriello,9 R. Ellen Magenis,10 and Sarah H. Elsea1,2,* Brachydactyly mental retardation syndrome (BDMR) is associated with a deletion involving chromosome 2q37. BDMR presents with a range of features, including intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral abnormalities, sleep disturbance, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities (including brachydactyly type E), and autism spectrum disorder. To date, only large deletions of 2q37 have been reported, making delineation of a critical region and subsequent identification of candidate genes difficult. We present clinical and molecular analysis of six individuals with overlapping deletions involving 2q37.3 that refine the critical region, reducing the candi- date genes from >20 to a single gene, histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). Driven by the distinct hand and foot anomalies and similar cognitive features, we identified other cases with clinical findings consistent with BDMR but without a 2q37 deletion, and sequencing of HDAC4 identified de novo mutations, including one intragenic deletion probably disrupting normal splicing and one intragenic insertion that results in a frameshift and premature stop codon. HDAC4 is a histone deacetylase that regulates genes important in bone, muscle, À/À neurological, and cardiac development. Reportedly, Hdac4 mice have severe bone malformations resulting from premature ossifica- tion of developing bones.
