Abstract
Tessier clefts are skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities of a neonate's facial structures. They could be classified as syndromic and non-syndromic clefts, which can be attributed to disruptions in fetal development and genetic mutations, respectively. Reported cases of these clefts typically document the presence of additional abnormalities associated with these clefts. In this systematic review, we analyzed reports of Tessier clefts accompanied by cardiovascular anomalies, as one of the commonly encountered anomalies. We systematically searched PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. We selected and included case reports, case series, and case reviews on patients with Tessier cleft and cardiovascular anomalies. The critical appraisal of the included studies was performed by two independent investigators using the Consensus-based Clinical Case Reporting Guideline Development (CARE) checklist. Overall, 20 reports (18 case reports and 2 case series) were eligible for inclusion in this review. Tessier clefts 3 and 30 were the most commonly observed. In addition, the most prevalent cardiovascular anomalies consisted of the ventricular septal defect (VSD), double-outlet right ventricle, and atrial septal defect (ASD). Most of the patients received cosmetic and cardiovascular surgeries. However, some were not proper candidates for cardiovascular surgery because of their unstable condition and therefore did not survive. Conclusion: Regardless of the focus placed on the cleft and subsequent plastic surgery procedures in these cases, it is important to prioritize other abnormalities that may be associated with mortality. A complete cardiovascular system and associated disorders assessment should be performed before facial cosmetic surgeries. What is Known: • Tessier clefts are congenital defects in the soft tissues and bones of the face and like many other congenital defects, they are accompanied by defects in other parts of the body. • In the current literature, the emphasis is on clefts and the cosmetic issues rather than the coinciding defects, particularly cardiovascular anomalies. What is New: • Review the cardiovascular anomalies that are commonly encountered in patients with Tessier clefts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a rare congenital condition. Its major features include hypertelorism, a large and bifid nasal tip, and a broad nasal root. We present our technique of septal L-strut reconstruction using costal cartilage. DESIGN Retrospective review from June 2008 and August 2017. METHODS Under general anesthesia, 6 patients with FND underwent septal reconstruction using costal cartilage via open rhinoplasty. We reconstructed the nasal and septal cartilaginous framework by placing columellar struts and cantilever-type grafts. RESULTS The patients ranged in age from 6 to 13 years old. All were female. The follow-up period ranged from 8 months to 2 years; we encountered no postoperative complications (infection, nasal obstruction, or recurrence). All patients were satisfied with their nasal appearance. CONCLUSIONS Although the results were not entirely satisfactory from an esthetic point of view, we found that FND can be treated via septal reconstruction with costal cartilage and that the clinical outcomes are reliable and satisfactory. Our approach is a useful option for FND patients.

Abstract
Due to their low incidence and thus resulting limited diagnostic criteria as well as therapeutic options, rare diseases of the nose, the paranasal sinuses, and the anterior skull base are a significant challenge. The value as of which a disease has to be considered as rare amounts to a maximum of 5 patients per 10 000 people. Within these diseases, however, there are extreme differences. Some rare or orphan diseases like for example the inverted papilloma belong to regularly diagnosed and treated diseases of larger departments of oto-rhino-laryngology whereas other rare diseases and malformations have only been described in less than 100 case reports worldwide. This fact emphasizes the necessity of bundling the available experience of diagnostics and therapy. The present article gives an overview about rare diseases of the nose, the paranasal sinuses, and the anterior skull base from the field of diseases/syndromes of the olfactory system, malformations of the nose and paranasal sinuses, ventilation and functional disorders as well as benign and malignant tumors. The classification and data on diagnostic and therapeutic options were established based on the current literature.

Abstract
Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a rare congenital craniofacial cleft syndrome associated with a spectrum of midline facial bone and soft-tissue malformations. When present, the physical features of FND are often obvious and classified at birth. The resultant facial deformities have the potential to negatively influence psychosocial health and quality of life. Reconstructive surgical intervention in early childhood can serve to restore facial contour and alleviate psychological stress. In this report, a case of a 14-year-old female with previously undiagnosed mild form of FND presented for reconstructive surgery evaluation and underwent several procedures including sliding advanced genioplasty, submucosal resection of the nasal turbinates, open rhinoplasty, and bilateral transnasal medial canthopexies. The patient had subsequent nasal tip recontouring for persistent supratip fullness. The patient achieved an acceptable esthetic outcome and was satisfied with her physical appearance. This case emphasizes the subtle presentation and reconstructive surgical options of a mild case of FND that was diagnosed at a later age, unlike the more severe phenotypes of the syndrome and other common craniofacial anomalies that are usually diagnosed and treated in early childhood. Multidisciplinary craniofacial care teams should be able to correctly diagnose and implement the appropriate surgical interventions in patients with milder forms of FND.

Abstract
A 19-year-old woman was referred for nasal breathing and aesthetic concerns regarding her nose. A computed tomography scan revealed a massive osseous shield anterior to the piriform aperture. Furthermore, there was a submucosal median alveolar cleft, and the posterior arch of C1 was missing. The magnetic resonance imaging brain scan revealed a curvilinear lipoma of corpus callosum. The ectopic nasal bone was removed by open rhinoplast,y and nasal function and aesthetics were restored. The described features defy conventional clinical diagnosis and severity classifications and present a diagnostic conundrum somewhere between a mild form of frontonasal dysplasia, oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome, and Pai syndrome.

Abstract
Frontonasal dysplasia is an unusual congenital condition with a wide phenotypic range. Because of this, only a small number of cases and their management have been reported in the literature. The ideal surgical procedures to correct mild cases of frontonasal dysplasia, and the time to perform them, are still controversial. The case of a 9-month-old girl with a mild form of this condition (a congenital bifid nose and a duplicated frenulum), and its surgical management, is presented. The surgery achieved an early improvement of the patient's appearance and she had no complications. In the future, it is probable that she will need secondary rhinoplasty to aid in the projection of the tip and refine the shape of the nose.

Abstract
Frontonasal dysplasia is a severe malformation composed of cranial, ophthalmic, nasal, upper lip, and palatal deformities. Reconstruction in these patients requires complex craniofacial efforts. A 19-year-old woman with frontonasal dysplasia was treated at our institution where she had undergone multiple prior reconstructive surgeries including facial bipartition and cantilevered calvarial bone graft for nasal reconstruction. She later presented with a palpable bone graft prominence, associated contour deformity, and an area of overlying paper-thin skin at the nasal tip. Although there was no ulceration, the threat of graft extrusion required immediate attention. The prominent bone graft tip was debrided, and the overlying soft tissue envelope was augmented using acellular dermal matrix. No surgical complication was encountered. The patient had successful salvage of the bone graft and a pleasing aesthetic outcome at 9 months of follow-up. The use of acellular dermal matrix has proven to be beneficial in the correction of nasal contour deformities given its soft, natural appearance, availability, affordability, and safety. Its use also avoids further donor site morbidity. We suggest acellular dermal matrix as a graft material in revision rhinoplasties for cases of acquired nasal contour deformity and threatened bone graft extrusion. This is the first report known to the authors using acellular dermal matrix during staged nasal reconstruction in a patient experiencing frontonasal dysplasia.

Abstract
In order to contribute to clinical delineation of midline facial defects with hypertelorism (MFDH) and to etiologic diagnosis of the isolated form, 31 patients with MFDH unaffected by known syndromic associations were evaluated. Group A included patients personally examined by the authors, while Group B included those previously evaluated by other geneticists. Among the 14 patients from Group A, there were 7 with distinct pictures of multiple congenital anomalies. In Group B, 5 of the 17 patients also exhibited a distinct pattern of defects. Among isolated MFDH, there was association with anomalies of the skull and facial bones (13/14), otorhinologic (11/16), central nervous system (9/16), and ocular (6/7), and audiologic (3/16); 1/3 of the cases had a relevant gestational intercurrences. Isolated FNM may have involvement of environmental components in some cases; the possibility of a syndromic picture should be extensive investigated. Follow-up of such patients must include the examinations herein performed.

Abstract
Frontonasal dysplasia [FND; OMIM 136760] results from abnormal morphogenesis of the frontonasal process with disruption of the formation of the facial midline. Craniofacial anomalies in FND include anterior cranium bifidum, ocular hypertelorism, orofacial clefting and notching or clefting of the alae nasi. The majority of FND cases are sporadic and discordance has been demonstrated in monozygotic twin pairs, arguing against a strong inherited component in pathogenesis. However, pedigrees with Mendelian inheritance and non-recurrent chromosome aberrations in FND patients demonstrate that gene mutations or cytogenetic imbalance can also be important in the etiology of this phenotype. We classified 101 reported cases of FND from the medical literature and three new cases into seven separate FND phenotypic subtypes in addition to isolated FND. Our aim was to evaluate FND patients for distinct phenotypes within the FND spectrum and to determine the evidence for a genetic etiology in each of the different subtypes. Our analysis showed significant differences in the severity of the accompanying malformations and the rates of learning disabilities in the FND subtypes, although the small patient numbers and method of patient ascertainment may have influenced the data. The results suggest that cases with FND should be evaluated for additional anomalies, as these may help to determine prognosis.
