[Permanent constriction of the jaws in children: 3 cases with extra-articular etiology].

Three cases of permanent constriction of the jaw are reported. One was a sequela after a noma, the second occurred in a child with arthrogryposis and the third was an inborn malformation. Each case raised specific problems for diagnosis and treatment. Mechanicotherapy is essential postoperatively and requires a specific electric apparatus to mobilize the joint.

[Cowden's disease].

We report a typical case of Cowden disease or Multiple Hamartoma Syndrome in a 32 year old female without a family history of this illness. The patient suffered bilateral fibrocystic disease of the breast, having been subjected to mastectomy because of carcinomatous degeneration. She complained of gastric symptoms, and the x-ray examination showed multiple polyposis. On physical examination an asymptomatic thyroid nodule was noted. The skin showed multiple wart-like lesions, lichenoid papules, localized hyperkeratosis and pigmented spots. She had many papillomas in her mouth a rasberry tongue and bilateral perleches.

[Diagnostic imaging for therapy planning of orofacial malformations].

Two-dimensional conventional X-rays and computer tomographic imaging systems contribute to the diagnosis and surgical planning of patients with orofacial malformations. The ability to reformat CT scans into three-dimensional osseous and soft tissue surface images has a significant impact on the diagnosis and management of orofacial malformations. Cephalometric evaluation with teleradiography provides precise insight into both the skeletal structures and the soft parts, enabling the radiologist to assess the relationship among the different parts in a given subject, at any given time and in relation to the normal.

Oral manifestations of severe short-limb dwarfism resembling Grebe chondrodysplasia: report of a case.

The oral and dental abnormalities associated with a distinct variety of severe short-limb dwarfism are described. The patient, a 9-year-old Arab boy, had delayed development and eruption of teeth, severe oligodontia of permanent dentition, hypodontia, microdontia, supplemental incisor, enamel hypoplasia of primary teeth, doubled and abnormal frenal attachments, bifid uvula, hypoplastic maxilla, and malocclusion. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed asymmetric dysplasia and anaplasia of long bones, craniofacial dysmorphia, prominent forehead, budlike fingers and bulbous toes, dysplastic nails, severe hearing loss, and reduced joint mobility. These features resemble, in general, those characteristic of Grebe chondrodysplasia, an extremely rare ill-defined syndrome that is inherited as an autosomal-recessive disorder.

Congenital oral synechiae.

Major congenital synechiae of the oral cavity constitute a clinically confusing spectrum of abnormalities. On the basis of clinical data, we propose two categories: 1) abnormalities secondary to persistence of the buccopharyngeal membrane and 2) abnormalities secondary to formation of ectopic membranes. An ectopic membrane results from abnormal fusion and can be subclassified as a subglossopalatal membrane, glossopalatal ankylosis, or syngnathia. This classification is supported by embryologic studies and is used to reclassify all cases reported since 1900. Distinct differences, such as the presence of associated limb anomalies, emerge; these are reviewed and add support to the proposed classification.
