Uvula is a small band of connective tissue, gland and small muscle fibers and is documented to be useful in speech, lubrication and central support of the palatopharyngeal arch during swallowing. Cultural practice of uvulectomy is very common in African countries as a treatment or prophylactic measure for chronic cough or frequent respiratory infection. Congenital absence of uvula is a rare condition and is also accompanied by other genetic abnormalities such as cleft lip or cleft palate. Case Report: This case report is based on an accidental finding in a 20-year-old African-American male who was acting as a standardized patient in a clinical course at a medical college.

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Role of Tongue Reduction Surgery in Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (2018)
    RESEARCH INSTITUTE Obstructive sleep apnea and the role of tongue reduction surgery in children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (2018) Christopher M. Cielo, Kelly A. Duffy, Aesha Vyas, Jesse A. Taylor, Jennifer M. Kalish Background Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) can be affected by a large tongue (macroglossia). Similar to other features of BWS, macroglossia can vary in severity between patients. Studies suggest that children with macroglossia are at an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that is also highly variable, ranging from mild sleep obstruction to severe respiratory distress. No recommendations regarding OSA management in patients with BWS and macroglossia exist. Purpose This article reviews all available evidence regarding children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) and macroglossia. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and management strategies in this population are discussed. Findings Evaluations Children suspected of having BWS and macroglossia should receive the following evaluations. No clear guidelines exist for at what age children should be evaluated. • Clinical Genetics: Any child with a feature suggestive of BWS should be referred to a clinical geneticist, who can evaluate the patient and determine whether the patient meets criteria for a clinical diagnosis of BWS. • Plastic Surgery: Patients with macroglossia should be referred to a plastic surgeon, who can evaluate the size of the tongue to determine whether a tongue reduction surgery is necessary. • Pulmonology: A pulmonologist can evaluate the degree to which the large tongue affects breathing, as an increased tongue size can narrow the airway and cause upper airway obstruction. o Polysomnography (sleep study) is used for evaluation of OSA in children and has been used in certain studies of BWS children to detect the following: moderate- severe OSA, upper airway obstruction, apnea, upper airway resistance, severe desaturation, sleep-disordered breathing, and snoring.

    ABSTRACTS BACHMAYER DI, Ross RB, Munro IR. Maxillary growth following Lefort III advancement surgery in Crouzon, Apert, and Pfeiffer syndromes. Am J Orthod Dentofac Orthop 1987; 90:420-430. The authors studied facial growth following Le Fort III osteotomies in 19 children with Crouzon (7), Apert (10), and Pfeiffer (2) syndromes. The group containing 12 males and 7 females with a mean age of 7.1 years at surgery were followed an average of 5.3 years after the surgeries. The authors compared the operated syn- drome group with a group of 52 unoperated syndrome patients: Crouzon (26); Apert (23), and Pfeiffer (3). They also compared the operated group with normative data from the University of Michigan School Growth Study. The authors found that the horizontal growth of the maxilla of the operated syndrome group was negligible (less than 0.1 mm/year) and different from the unoperated syndrome group (0.7 mm/year) and the normal group (1.3 mm/year). The authors found that vertical growth of the maxilla was similar in all three groups. They concluded that the surgery was justifiable, even though a subsequent maxillary advancement is required after growth is completed. (Staley) Reprints: Dr. R.

    78 Cleft Palate Journal, January 1987, Vol. 24 No. 1 ABSTRACTS ALBIN RE, HENDEE RW, O'DONNELL RS, MajJurE JA. Trigonocephaly: refinements in recon- struction. Experience with 33 patients. Plast Reconstr Surg 1985; 76:202-209. Trigonocephaly, synostosis of the metopic cranial suture, accounts for about 5 percent of all craniostenoses. The authors believe that computerized tomography is rarely necessary for the diagnosis, and the clinical ap- pearance is of a forehead with a sharp midline ridge, flat frontal eminences, and a narrow foreshortening. Hypotelorism is present, and the orbits are oval with the longer vertical axes. Surgical correction is indicated to provide adequate room for brain growth and to improve appearance. Eighty percent of affected children demonstrate delays on developmental and behavioral testing. The technique reported includes removing the entire frontal bone segment from 1.0 to 1.5 cm superior to the superior orbital rim and laterally to the coronal craniectomy. The supraorbital rim fragment is removed after osteotomies through both frontozygomatic su- tures and the glabella. Osteotomies centrally open the keel-shaped area of the supraorbital rim fragment and close the lateral extremities of this section, and the frontal segment is cut into multiple fragments, which are then pieced together for a more normally shaped forehead. These two segments when attached are reattached at the glabella. A 2.5 to 3.0 cm strip is left open along the coronal suture. Early operation (between 2 and 6 months of age) is advocated. A mean follow-up of 22.8 months is reported with no deaths, infections, or damage to visual or cerebral functions.
