Extractions: Treacher Collins Syndrome Disorders and deformities Treacher Collins Syndrome is a birth defect that has several characteristic features including underdeveloped cheek and jaw bones, misshapen or missing ears and downslanting eyes. It can vary in severity from a very subtle presentation that may go unrecognized to the more severe cases that are noticed immediately and may present with related problems. Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic condition occurring in approximately 1 of 10,000 births. It may occur as a spontaneous mutation out of genetically normal parents or it may be inherited from one of the parents. A spontaneous mutation occurs very early in development and presently there is no link between a mothers activities and the condition. If one parent is affected there is a 50% chance of passing it on to the offspring. Because the jaw and nasal passages are small, these children are at risk of developing breathing problems. It is important that they are evaluated by a specialist if there are any signs of breathing difficulty, feeding problems and/or poor weight gain. Some infants require a tracheostomy to overcome these problems. In addition, the small jaw and possible presence of a cleft palate can contribute to feeding problems. If a child is using all their energy just to breathe, they will not be able to feed effectively. This is another important reason to carefully evaluate the infants airway status.

Extractions: The National Craniofacial Association P. O. Box 11082 * Chattanooga, TN 37401 Treacher Collins Syndrome What is Treacher Collins Syndrome? Treacher Collins Syndrome, also called mandibulofacial dysostosis, affects the head and face. Characteristics include: Most children with Treacher Collins have normal development and intelligence; however, it is important that there be early hearing tests. Most children with Treacher Collins Syndrome benefit from early intervention speech and language programs. Why did this happen? Treacher Collins Syndrome is believed to be caused by a change in the gene on chromosome 5, which affects facial development. About 40 percent of the time, one parent has the Treacher Collins Syndrome gene. Geneticists can now determine whether the Treacher Collins gene is a new mutation or one that has been passed on. Will this happen to children I have in the future?

Orbital Reconstruction Treacher Collins Syndrome Nasal Reconstruction Orthognathic Surgery Trauma Reconstruction Hemifacial Microsomia ... Summary Treacher Collins syndrome (also called mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti Syndrome) is a highly complex disease process. The basic etiology is unknown, but it is generally thought to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the facial bones, especially the zygoma and the mandible. Facial clefting causes this hypoplastic appearance, with possible deformities or deficiencies of the ear, orbital, midface, and lower jaw regions. The clinical appearance is a result of the zygoma (malar bone) failing to fuse with the maxilla, frontal, and temporal bones. Highly variant degrees of involvement (complete, incomplete, and abortive forms) can be seen, but common facial features may include: Hypoplastic cheeks, zygomatic

Features include: drooping eyelids which may be associated with a nick in the lower lid; variable degrees of malformed or absent ears, the middle ear may also be malformed or missing causing conductive deafness; receding chin at birth; hairline and palate may also be unusual (cleft palate or choanal atresia may occur in severe cases). Associated problems may include dental, breathing and eye infections. Three similar conditions are: Nager which is a syndrome with similar mandibular dysostosis anomalies to Treacher Collins but with additional arm and digital anomalies: Aural atresia of the ears (congenital imperforation of the normal channel or pathological closure of the channel in the ears): First and second arch syndromes which are inclusive titles for developmental errors of the facial bones and which include Treacher Collins Syndrome.

Extractions: Treacher Collins syndrome is the name given to a birth defect which may affect the size and shape of the ears, eyelids, cheek bones, and upper and lower jaws. The extent of facial deformity varies from one affected individual to another. A physician named Treacher Collins was one of the first to describe this birth defect. "Syndrome" refers to the group of deformities which characterizes affected individuals. Another commonly used medical name for this syndrome is "mandibulofacial dysostosis." What causes it? This syndrome is caused by an abnormality in the genes. If both parents are normal, that is showing no signs of the syndrome themselves, this abnormality is the result of a change in the genetic material at the time of conception. The exact cause of this change is not known. If one parent is affected, the abnormal gene is then known to have been contributed by that parent. Does this mean that this can happen again in my family?
Treacher-Collins Syndrome treacher collins syndrome or Mandibulofacial synostosis effects the sizeand shape of the ears, cheek bones, and upper and lower jaws. http://www.worldcf.org/fc_3.html
Extractions: Malformation of the ear Although the severity of this syndrome can vary, the problems faced by a child with Treacher Collins can be quite complicated and require the attention of a professional with experience with these types of patients. In the early years, patients often have difficulty maintaining an open airway and may need some assistance with obtaining adequate nutrition. In most cases as the patient grows and matures structurally, these problems are alleviated. Also,the malformation of the upper and lower jaws most often results in a malocclusion of the bite. A Treacher Collins patient can also have impaired hearing depending upon the extent to which the deformity effects the formation of the ears. There may be a cleft of the palate as well. Causes: Treacher Collins is caused by autosomal dominant inheritance of the "Treachle gene" which is located on chromosome 5. The children of an affected parent have a 50% risk of having the syndrome. If the parents of the affected child are not effected by the syndrome, the chances of a sibling having Treacher Collins is minimal.

Extractions: Mandibulofacial dysostosis evident at birth. Difficulty in sucking and swallowing; excessive mucus in mouth; cyanotic spells. Facial characteristics consist of fishlike facies with antimongoloid obliquity of palpebral fissures, notching of lower eyelids, flattening of molar bones (Treacher Collins), a small mandible, receding chin, considerable overbite, high arched palate, macrostomia, malformations of ears, low-set small ears, prolongation of the hairline on the cheek. Incomplete, abortive, and unilateral forms described. The nasofrontal angle is usually obliterated and the bridge of the nose raised. Mental retardation occurs in some cases. Death from respiratory infection is likely in the first month of life, but survivors of infancy can have a normal life span.
Treacher Collins Syndrome A look at treacher collins syndrome, a syndrome involving facial disfigurementand hearing loss. treacher collins syndrome. Hearing http://deafness.about.com/library/weekly/aa022602.htm
Extractions: Over the years, I have met hearing impaired people that I suspected had Treacher Collins syndrome. This was apparent from their facial appearance, as this relatively rare (one in 10,000 births) genetic syndrome involves facial disfigurement and hearing loss. People with Treacher Collins syndrome have normal intelligence (although children may have some developmental delay). The physical symptoms include: People with Treacher Collins often use conductive hearing aids such as bone conduction (or bone anchored) hearing aids because their ears are too malformed for an earmold.
