“…4 One reported patient also had extensive jejunal and ileal atresia. 5 There is much confusion classifying these syndromes and putting them into one specific category. All of these mentioned fit in the spectrum of oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome.…”

“…Environmental factors such as urinary tract infection, administration of butabarbital sodium, sulfonamides, phentermine resin, hydrochlorothiazide, chloral hydrate, sulfaethyl tioxidazole, Tigan (trimethobenzamide hydrochloride), and Benedictine have been implicated in the few case reports. 1,5,6 In one case report, the mother had taken imipramine, diazepam, chlorpromazine, and meclizine during pregnancy. 1,5 The origin of oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome is still unknown and usually sporadic.…”

“…He suggests that tranquilizer use during pregnancy may suppress the fetal swallowing reflexes, which may delay palatal shelf elevation, prolong palatopharyngeal and palatoglossal epithelial contact, and thus lead to adhesion and cleft palate. 5 There are other theories on the pathogenesis of this tongue palate fusion. One suggests that local epithelial injury or deepithelialization of the tip of the tongue in the period of palatal fusion causes the adherence.…”

“…Occasionally associated malformations other than orofacial and limb defects have been observed in OLHS, including intestinal atresia [Nevin et al, 1980; David et al, 1992], unilateral renal agenesis [Johnson and Robinow, 1978], imperforate anus [Bersu et al, 1976] and hydrocephalus [Gillerot et al, 1991]. A few patients with pulmonary hypoplasia [Chicarilli and Polayes, 1985; Shechter et al, 1990; Maruyama and Koizumi, 2001] and a single female patient with gastroschisis [Kiliç et al, 2001] have been described.…”

The oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndromes (OLHS) represent a group of rare conditions characterized by congenital malformations involving the tongue, mandible, and limbs. There is considerable overlap between the syndromes gathered under the term OLHS, and a marked variability of face and limb anomalies as well as additional malformations. In this report we describe a girl with gastroschisis and pulmonary hypoplasia in addition to features of Moebius syndrome comprising hypoplasia of the tongue and mandible, brachydactyly of halluces, cranial nerve palsies with bilateral facial paralysis and an inability to execute horizontal eye movements. Karyotyping and array-based comparative genomic hybridization were normal. This observation confirms an overlap between Moebius syndrome and OLHS and widens the spectrum of associated malformations. Intrauterine environmental factors including vascular insufficiency, high maternal fever, and drug abuse are likely to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this condition.

Hypoglossia‐hypodactylia syndrome with jejunal atresia in an infant of a diabetic mother

et al. 1992

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite advances in therapy for maternal diabetes, pregnancies of diabetic women remained at an increased risk of spontaneous abortion or delivery of an infant with major malformation. We report on an infant of a diabetic mother with hypoglossia-hypodactylia associated with complete jejunal atresia. A common pathogenesis for these 2 malformations could be a vascular disruptive mechanism with in utero arterial thrombosis.
