Cyclopia exists in humans, but it's not what the ancient Greeks - or 'Ancient Aliens' - envisioned.

A two-year-old girl worshipped as a goddess after being born with four arms and four legs is taking her first steps since having her extra limbs removed.

Congenital coronary artery anomalies are not common, but it is crucial to identify them as in some cases they can cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. It is also important to identify variants and anomalies without clinical relevance on their own, as complications during surgery or catheter-based interventions can occur. The aim of this chapter is to give a comprehensive and concise overview of coronary embryology and normal coronary artery anatomy, describe common variants of normal anatomy, and summarize typical patterns of anomalous coronary artery anatomy. We described three groups according to their frequency in the general population: normal, normal variant, and anomaly. We have further subdivided the anomalies based on their functional relevance: coronary artery anomalies with obligatory ischemia, without ischemia, or with exceptional ischemia. The chapter is complemented by images taken from invasive coronary angiography, coronary computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance to help illustrate the nature of the anomalies.

The largest worldwide population-based study hopes to determine the frequency of specific congenital anomalies in cerebral palsy, and risk for each.

Important definitions Malformation definition A morphologic defect of an organ, part of an organ or large area of the body resulting from a developmental abnormality (intrinsic). Eg: Cleft lip Deformation definition Abnormal form of the body part due to mechanical forces. Disruption definition Defect of an organ, part of an organ or large area of the body due to interference with a normal developmental process. Eg: Amneotic bands leads to amputation Sequence Multiple defects occur as a result of single presumed structural abnormality. Eg: Pierre Robin’s Sequence Syndrome Combination of signs and/or symptoms that forms as a distinct clinical picture indicative of a particular disorder. Eg: Down’s syndrome Common Syndromes and developmental anomalies found in Head and Neck region Cleft lip and palate Valocardiofacial syndrome Pierre Robin’s syndrome Treacher Collins syndrome Golden har syndrome Apert and Crouzen syndrome Approch to diagnosis There are over 3000 known syndromes. But only very few are found in common during dental practice. idea of this post is to explain important clinical features of commonly found syndromes and their implication on dental practice. History plays a major role in diagnosis of a developmental anomaly. Under history these factors are of uttermost important in diagnosis. Medical pedigree Maternal and paternal age Consanguinity Previous abortions Teratogens (Fetal alcohol syndrome) These factors should be thoroughly examined during physical examination Compare siblings and other family member’s photographs Major and minor abnormalities Isolated minor anomalies (15%) More than 3 minor anomalies with major anomalies (90%) Mental retardation associated Down’s syndrome Etiology: nondisjunction mutation resulting in trisomy of 21 chromosome. Prevalence 1:700 Down’s syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality. It is associated with maternal age more than 37 years. Facial characteristics Macroglossia Micrognathia Midface hypoplasia (Class III) Flat occiput Flat nasal bridge Epicanthal fold Up slanting palpebral fissures Progressive enlargement of lips Airway concerns Due to midface hypoplasia Obstructive sleep apnoea Prevalence: 54-100% down’s patients. As a combination of anatomic and functional mechanisms.(midface hypoplasia,macroglossia, etc. and hypotonia of pharyngeal muscles) Cardiovascular abnormalities found in 40% down’s patints. ASD,VSD, Tetralogy of fallot’s, PDA Gastrointestinal abnormalities found in 10-18% of down’s patients. Malignancies are associated with some down’s cases Valocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS) Autosomal dominant condition. Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) is a genetic condition characterized by abnormal pharyngeal arch development that results in defective development of the parathyroid glands, thymus, and conotruncal region of the heart. Etiology: by deletion of chromosome 22 Clinical Features: congenital heart diseases, hyper nasal speech, and cleft palate Basicranial angle flexion- Therefore longer face Puffy eyelids Vascular anomalies are very common Anomalies of the head and neck region are common. Treacher collin’s syndrome Autosomal dominant condition 60% are from new mutation Characteristics: likely due to abnormal migration of neural crest cells into first and second branchial arch structures. Usually bilateral and symmetrical Down slanting eyebrows and palpebral fissures Retruded mandible Apert and Crowzen’s syndromes Belong to family of craniosynostosis Apert’s syndrome is also called as Acrocephalosyndactyly Facial Characteristics: Craniosynostosis (coronal sutures fused at birth and head circumference is larger than the average head circumference. Hypertelorism Shallow orbits with Exopthalmus Maxillary hypoplasia causing retruded midface with relative prognathism. Beaked nose Downward slanting palpebral fissures Syndactyly Airway concerns Treatment Fronto orbital advancement surgery can be done and get good protection to eyes. Syndactyly can be corrected with surgical reconstruction. Pierre Robin’s syndrome Characterize by triad of micrognathia, Glossoptosis, Cleft palate. 80% syndromic Mechanism of cleft palate formation Mandibular deficiency causes hypoplastic and retruded mandible (Micrognathia). Therefore Tongue remains retruded and high in oropharynx causing failure of fusing lateral palatal shelves. This results in cleft palate. Airway obstruction is a marked feature. Pierre Robin’s syndrome can be associated with other anatomic and neuromuscular components. Airway management Temporizing modalties Prove positioning Nasopharyngeal airway Mandibular traction devices Tongue lip adhesion. Tracheostomy done if above not worked Distraction osteogenisis can be done in infants Goldenhar syndrome Features Facial asymmetry and ear deformity. Vertebral malformations Uppereyelid coloborma Auricular malformations EAC stenosis Vascular anomalies during fetal life Unilateral craniofacial malformations 1st and 2nd arch defects Other concerns Hearing concerns in greater than 50% patients Sensoneural occationally.
