Combined surgical and orthodontic management of the oral abnormalities in children with cleidocranial dysplasia.

Children with cleidocranial dysplasia have dental abnormalities which combine to prevent normal tooth eruption, and which if untreated may result in abnormal facial and jaw growth. A technique combining orthodontics and oral surgery has resulted in the establishment of excellent occlusion and facial appearance in these patients. Recent advances in direct enamel bonding techniques for orthondontic attachments have permitted a conservative surgical approach with minimal bone removal during surgery to expose unerupted teeth prior to orthodontic treatment.

Late sequelae of gonadal, mediastinal and oral teratomas in childhood.

Thirty-two patients with gonadal or non-sacrococcygeal extragonadal teratomas who underwent operation in childhood were evaluated for different late sequelae. Follow-up times ranged from 5.0 to 40 years. Physical abnormalities resulting from surgery were seen in eight patients who had had oral or mediastinal primary teratomas. Radiographs revealed multiple spina bifida occulta lesions in three patients. The males, but not the females, showed signs of gonadal dysfunction. Impaired semen quality or abnormal serum concentrations of testosterone or gonadotrophins were found in five of 10 adult men who had had testicular or mediastinal teratomas. Thus, some late sequelae may be predicted from the site of the primary teratoma, but gonadal dysfunction in males and vertebral anomalies may occur irrespective of where the teratoma is situated.

Fetal aortic root dilation: a prenatal feature of the Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a recently described autosomal dominant disorder with cardinal manifestations in cardiovascular, craniofacial and skeletal systems. Although the disease has some phenotypic overlap with Marfan syndrome, the disease, that is caused by mutations in the transforming growth factor beta-receptor 1 (TGFBR1) or transforming growth factor beta-receptor 2 (TGFBR2) genes, presents many distinctive features and a particularly aggressive cardiovascular course. We describe prenatal identification of an aortic root aneurysm in a fetus of 19 week of gestation as an early marker of Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Correction of dentofacial deformities in children and adolescent patients.

Modern orthognathic surgical techniques can complement orthodontic treatment of children and adolescent patients. A wide variety of deformities can be surgically corrected at a young age and examples selected from more than 100 treated pediatric patients are presented. As with all surgical procedures, the risks of surgery and anesthesia must be weighed against the benefits which are expected to result from the outcome of the surgery.
