Congenital cranial anomalies and cleft palate Craniofacial surgery Paul J.Tessier Craniofacial team • anesthesiologist • audiologist • genetics • neurosurgeon • ophthalmologist • oral surgeon • orthodontist • otolaryngologist • pediatrician • plastic surgeon • radiologist • social worker • speech pathologist Craniofacial anomalies Cleft lip and Craniosynostosis palate Craniofacial clefts Tessier’s classification Cleft lip and palate • multifactorial etiology • 15% clefts cases are syndromic • environmental factors known : phenytoin, retinoic acid, folic acid antagonists; maternal smoking • cleft lip or cleft lip-and palate with male predominance • isolated cleft palate with female predominance Cleft lip and palate • Incomplete/complete • Unilateral/bilateral • Boys are more often affected than girls • Left-sided clefts are more common Cleft lip and palate • the most frequent congenital facial defect • main point of classification ➡ incisive foramen Cleft lip and palate Kernahan-Stark classification • Primary palate – clefts of the lips and dentoalveolar defects anterior to the incisive foramen • Secondary palate – clefts posterior to the incisive foramen Cleft lip and palate Unilateral lip cleft Cleft lip and palate Unilateral lip cleft Cleft lip and palate Bilateral lip cleft Cleft lip and palate Bilateral cleft lip and palate Surgical treatment • cleft lip is always repaired at 3-4mo • cleft palate is usually repaired between 9 to 15 months of age • cleft alveolus is usually repaired with autogenous bone graft between 5 and 8 years of age Cleft lip repair Cleft palate repair Craniofacial clefts Craniofacial clefts Treacher-Collins syndrome „mandibulofacial dysostosis” - 1:10000 live births - inheritance: AD Treacher-Collins syndrome Treacher-Collins syndrome Treacher-Collins syndrome Surgical treatment: • severity of the malformation dictates the timing of surgical intervention • correction of mandibular retrusion • external ear construction with costochondral grafts (6yo) • correction of zygomas and orbits • local flaps for antimongoloid slant and eyelid colobomas Treacher-Collins syndrome Choanal atresia • unilateral/bilateral • bony/membranous • respiratory distress, difficulty feeding, failure to thrive • catheter can’t be passed through the nose • CT scan TRANSPALATAL REPAIR Ankyloglossia Craniosynostosis • prematurely cranial sutures closure • the resulting distortion of the skull depends on the suture/sutures that are closed • nonsyndromic / syndromic • sagittal suture – most commonly fused Craniosynostosis Scaphocephaly (boat shape) Scaphocephaly (boat shape) Plagiocephaly Plagiocephaly Brachycephaly Brachycephaly Trigonocephaly Trigonocephaly Acrocephaly Acrocephaly Treatment • early operative intervention is advised • most centers favor the period of 3 to 6 months of age (before 1yo) • releasing affected suture + repositioning of deformed bones Crouzon syndrome Most common syndromic craniosynostosis • bilateral coronal synostosis (every suture can be involved) • exorbitism (hypoplastic orbit) • midfacial retrusion with collapsed maxilla • pseudomandibular prognathism Before and after Apert syndrome „acrocephalosyndactyly”.
