dos Inocentes RJM, de Almeida Ribeiro A, Marzano-Rodrigues MN, Yatabe-Ioshida MS, Trindade-Suedam IK. Adults with Treacher Collins Syndrome Share Comparable 3D Upper Airway Dimensions with Nonsyndromic Individuals. Int J Dent 2024; 2024:6545790. [PMID: 38962724 PMCID: PMC11221962 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6545790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Sleep apnea symptoms, such as snoring and daytime somnolence, are commonly observed in individuals with Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) and may be related to airway obstruction due to micro- and retro-gnathia. This study aims to three-dimensionally evaluate the upper airway using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams of adolescents (TCS-ADOL) and adults (TCS-ADUL) with TCS compared to a nonsyndromic group (CON). Materials and Methods Twenty-six CBCT exams were divided into three groups: TCS-ADOL (n = 7) (13.14 ± 1.67 years): CBCT exams of TCS adolescents; TCS-ADUL (n = 10) (21.80 ± 4.39 years): CBCT exams of TCS adults; and CON (n = 9) (25.33 ± 8.57 years): CBCT exams of adult nonsyndromic individuals with Class II skeletal pattern. The variables analyzed were (1) total upper airway volume; (2) nasal cavity volume; (3) total pharyngeal volume; (4) nasopharyngeal volume; (5) oropharyngeal volume; (6) pharyngeal minimal cross-sectional area; (7) pharyngeal length; and (8) pharyngeal depth. Scans were analyzed by two examiners, and intra- and inter-rater agreement was calculated. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results Although not statistically significant, the TCS-ADUL group showed decreased airway volume and minimal cross-sectional areas compared to the CON group. There were also significant differences between TCS-ADOL and TCS-ADUL, with significantly lower airway volumes in the TCS-ADOL group. Strong positive correlations were found between certain airway measurements in the TCS-ADOL group, which were not observed in adults. Conclusions The upper airways of adults with TCS are dimensionally similar to those of nonsyndromic individuals, despite absolute value reductions found in the syndromic group. The reduced airway in the adolescent population suggests significant potential for growth, mainly in pharyngeal dimensions.

Abstract
Facial dysostosis syndromes (FDS) are rare congenital conditions impacting facial development, often leading to diverse craniofacial abnormalities. This study addresses the scarcity of evidence on these syndromes about optimal diagnostic and treatment practices. To overcome this scarcity, European experts from ERN CRANIO collaborated to develop a clinical consensus statement through the Delphi consensus method. A systematic search of Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases was conducted until February 2023. The quality of evidence was evaluated using various tools depending on the study design. Statements were subsequently formed based on literature and expert opinion, followed by a Delphi process with expert health care providers and patient representatives. In total, 92 experts from various specialties and three patient representatives were involved in the Delphi process. Over 3 voting rounds, consensus was achieved on 92 (46.9%), 58 (59.2%), and 19 (70.4%) statements, respectively. These statements cover the topics of general care; craniofacial reconstruction; the eyes and lacrimal system; upper airway management; genetics; hearing; speech; growth, feeding, and swallowing; dental treatment and orthodontics; extracranial anomalies; and psychology and cognition. The current clinical consensus statement provides valuable insights into optimal diagnostic and treatment practices and identifies key research opportunities for FDS. This consensus statement represents a significant advancement in FDS care, underlining the commitment of health care professionals to improve the understanding and management of these rare syndromes in Europe.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed at evaluating the risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its frequency in adults with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS). The association of OSA with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), respiratory symptoms, and clinical variables was also assessed. Material and Methods The subjects were prospectively screened for OSA through the Berlin Questionnaire and type I polysomnography. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Respiratory Symptoms Questionnaire were used for assessing OSA-related symptoms. Quality of life was assessed by means of the Short Form 36 Health Survey. Results The sample comprised 20 adults with TCS (55.0% female), aged 22.6 ± 5.8 years. Mean values of systemic blood pressure (113.0 ± 12.6/68.0 ± 9.5mmHg), body mass index (22.9 ± 5.9kg/m 2 ), neck (34.1 ± 4.3cm), and waist circumference (80.4 ± 13.6cm) characterized the sample. A high risk for OSA was detected in 35% of the sample. Polysomnography results indicated an OSA frequency of 44.4%, with a median apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) value of 3.8 events/hour (minimum = 0.2; maximum = 77.5). Snoring (75.0%), nasal obstruction (70.0%) and EDS (20.0%) were the reported OSA-related symptoms. Quality of life median scores were 72.3 points (minimum = 45.0; maximum = 91.1). Strong positive correlations between AHI versus waist circumference and AHI versus systolic blood pressure were found. Moderate positive correlations between AHI versus body mass index and AHI versus neck circumference were detected. Negative correlation between AHI versus vitality were also observed. Conclusion Adults with TCS are at high risk for OSA, which is associated with respiratory symptoms, altered anthropometric measurements, increased systolic pressure and impairment of quality of life.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To characterize obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with non-syndromic cleft palate based on polysomnographic parameters relative to primary palatoplasty. METHODS A systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Cochrane. Studies were only considered for inclusion if they examined exclusively non-syndromic cleft palate patients and reported polysomnogram data. RESULTS Seven studies met inclusion criteria, providing information on a total of 151 patients with a weighted mean age of 5.2 ± 5.0 years old (range 0.1- 12 years). Five studies presented data from either the pre- or post-operative period. Two studies investigated both pre- and post-palatoplasty polysomnogram data, and neither observed a significant change in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) values following surgery (mean pre-operative AHI of 2.7, mean improvement of 0.6 events/hour). The entire cohort had a pre-palatoplasty weighted mean AHI of 11.4 (range 1.5 -16.1) and post-palatoplasty AHI of 1.5 (range 0.2 - 5.2). Interpretation of polysomnographic data was limited by heterogeneity; however, the AHI values of children with non-syndromic cleft palate largely demonstrated mild to moderate OSA following palatoplasty. CONCLUSIONS The full effect of cleft palate repair on OSA in children with non-syndromic cleft palate remains understudied. While published data are heterogenous, few studies support the worsening of obstructive AHI after palatoplasty in children with non-syndromic cleft palate. Further studies with standardized polysomnographic parameters are needed to provide guidance for management of this population.

Abstract
In this study, we present the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in a child with Treacher Collins syndrome. A 10-year-old girl with a past history of Treacher Collins syndrome presented to our clinic with her parents for respiratory distress and insomnia. The patient was referred to a sleep laboratory where she was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, which was a consequence of her Treacher Collins syndrome. The patient underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis under general anesthesia. The mandible was expanded by 15 mm using internal bilateral distractors. After distraction osteogenesis, the patient's respiratory problems resolved, and she was able to sleep comfortably. Distraction osteogenesis was an effective method of advancing the mandible, increasing the upper airway space and ultimately preventing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in patients with Treacher Collins syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A congenital craniofacial anomaly (CFA) is expected to impact upon several domains of psychological, emotional and social functioning, yet no recent reviews have comprehensively summarised the available literature. Further, existing reviews tend to draw upon literature in the field of cleft lip and palate, and do not give substantive attention to other types of CFAs. DESIGN A review of 41 papers published between January 2000 and March 2016 pertaining to psychological adjustment to CFAs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Findings are presented according to key psychological domains: General Psychological Well-being, Quality of Life, Behaviour, Emotional Well-being, Social Experiences, Appearance, and Treatment-Related Experiences. RESULTS Current literature offers a contradictory picture of adjustment to CFAs. Psychological adjustment appeared to be comparable to norms and reference groups in approximately half of the papers related to non-syndromic CFAs, while more variation was found across domains among samples with syndromic CFAs. Associations were found between adjustment, physical health and cognitive function in several papers. The review identified a number of gaps in the literature, such as the inclusion of a wide range of diagnoses within research samples. CONCLUSIONS This review demonstrates the complexity of findings, both within and across domains, and highlights a number of methodological challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No reviews or guidelines are available on evidence-based treatment for the multidisciplinary approach in Treacher Collins syndrome. The authors' aim is to provide an evidence-based review of multidisciplinary treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome based on levels of evidence and supported with graded recommendations. METHODS A systematic search was performed by means of the PubMed, Web-of-Science, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases (1985 to January of 2014). Included were clinical studies (with five or more Treacher Collins syndrome patients) related to therapy, diagnosis, or risk of concomitant diseases. Level of evidence of the selected articles was rated according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. After two panelists had reviewed each abstract separately, a consensus method was used to solve any disagreements concerning article inclusion. RESULTS Of the 2433 identified articles, 63 studies (Level of Evidence II through V) were included. Conclusions and recommendations were extracted consecutively for the following items: upper airway; ear, hearing, and speech; the eye, eyelashes, and lacrimal system; growth, feeding, and swallowing; the nose; psychosocial factors; and craniofacial reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review, current evidence for the multidisciplinary treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome is provided, recommendations for treatment are made, and a proposed algorithm for treatment is presented. Although some topics are well supported, others, especially ocular, nasal, speech, feeding, and swallowing problems, lack sufficient evidence. In addition, craniofacial surgical reconstruction lacks a sufficient level of evidence to provide a sound basis for a full treatment protocol. Despite the rarity of the syndrome, more research is needed to compare outcomes of several surgical treatments, especially in orbitozygomatic/maxillary regions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between quality of life, psychological distress, and orofacial syndromes in children and adolescents has been reported in several studies. However, little is known about differences in psychological distress and quality of life among adults with different orofacial conditions. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine and compare these factors among three groups of adults affected by Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), cherubism, and oligodontia/ectodermal dysplasia (ED). METHODS We included 11 individuals with TCS (mean age 46.9, SD 12.9 years), 15 with cherubism (mean age 50.3, SD 16.8 years), and 49 with oligodontia/ED (mean age 30.7, SD 15.6 years). The respondents completed questionnaires related to psychological distress and quality of life. RESULTS The oligodontia/ED group had a significantly higher level of anxiety and worse mental health-related quality of life than both the TCS and cherubism groups. Adults with TCS reported the highest level of depression, and the lowest levels of overall quality of life, well-being, and physical health-related quality of life. The cherubism group displayed the best overall quality of life, well-being, and mental health. CONCLUSIONS Psychological distress and quality of life differed in various orofacial conditions. This study provided insight into these aspects that may contribute to improved care.
