“…26). objective Comment: These bands must be distinguished from synechiae between the tongue and palate (glossopalatal ankylosis) and from synechiae arising from the floor of the mouth (as in the subglossopalatal membrane), oropharyngeal isthmus (as in persistent buccopharyngeal membrane) or from the lower lip [Gorlin et al, 2001]. If there is a complete soft tissue contiguity between the upper and lower alveolar ridges, the term, Fibrous syngnathia should be used instead.…”

An international group of clinicians and scientists working in the field of dysmorphology has initiated the standardization of terms used to describe human morphology. The goals are to standardize these terms and reach consensus regarding their definitions. In this way, we will increase the utility of descriptions of the human phenotype and facilitate reliable comparisons of findings among patients. Discussions with other workers in dysmorphology and related fields, such as developmental biology and molecular genetics, will become more precise. Here we summarize the anatomy of the oral region and define and illustrate the terms that describe the major characteristics of the lips and mouth.

“…The cleft lip with or without cleft palate may be isolated with no other congenital abnormalities present 1 , or be one component of a more global fetal abnormality. Approximately 350 syndromes have been linked with facial clefting, some of which may result in death or severe morbidity 2 . Previous studies have shown that the rate of associated anomalies for cleft lips with or without cleft palate range between 35-63% 3,4 .…”

“…Additional, less common clinical manifestations include complete absence of the limb, short umbilical cord, craniofacial disruptions, neural tube defects, cranial defects, scoliosis, and body-wall defects, such as gastroschisis and extrathoracic heart. Some of these manifestations occur at birth at only a very low frequency because they result in spontaneous abortion [2][3][4][5].…”

Objective To evaluate the clinical and functional results of a technical procedure used in the surgical treatment of congenital constriction ring (CCR) in children. Materials and methods This was a retrospective study undertaken to evaluate the results of surgical techniques performed from January 1995 to December 2005 on 95 patients with 134 congenital constriction bands. Due to the drop-out of nine patients during follow-up, data on 86 patients (121 congenital constriction rings; average age at surgery 1 year 2 months) were analyzed. The extent of the constrictions was classified by according to the Patterson criteria. All patients were treated by two-stage sine plasty combined with removal of the fibrous groove and fasciotomy, with one-half of the ring removed during the first stage and the other half removed 1 week later during the second state. The surgical outcomes were assess according to the Moses criteria. Results Three types of CCR (Patterson criteria) were identified among the 86 patients (121 constriction rings): types I (5 patients, 4.1 %), II (107, 88.5 %), III (9, 7.4 %). Of the 121 constriction rings, good results were attained in 73.6 % and fair results in 26.4 %. Sensory deficits were seen in six patients immediately after the surgery but all six had improved to a normal condition at the final follow-up examination. There were no skin necrosis or wound healing problems. Conclusion The combined sine plasty/removal of fibrous groove and fasciotomy method reported here is a simple and safe surgical technique for treating CCR in children.
