Abstract
The reconstruction of the whole orbitozygomatic framework (OZF) is complex and can be encountered in cases of congenital midface deformity, after tumor ablative surgery and in severe facial trauma. Nowadays, surgeon has a wide range of available techniques that have continually grown over the past years, optimizing the surgical management and the aesthetical outcomes. Among them, the autologous bone graft (ABG) remains one of the most suitable options : ABG is easy to harvest and has optimal biological properties for bone healing. It can be tailored to the patient anatomy thanks to the recent advances in computer-assisted surgery. However, substantial drawbacks remain such as the early resorption of the non-vascularized graft, the need of a donor site and its potential morbidity. Alloplastic reconstruction is another option that can resolve both the resorption issue and the donor site morbidity. Moreover, the 3D-printing technologies also allows the manufacturing of patient specific implants. However, alloplastic materials have a variable success, especially due to the high risk of infection or exposure. Consequently, regenerative medicine is a promising field that aims to find a procedure without the disadvantages of ABG or alloplastic based reconstructions, but displaying similar or even higher success rate. Indeed, recent tissue engineering strategies have demonstrated encouraging results for bone regeneration using natural or synthetic biomaterials, patient cells and synthetic bioactive substances. The objective of this review is to present the etiologies of OZF defect, the available reconstruction procedures as well as the current state of the research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the timing and safety of cleft palate (CP) repair in patients with Robin sequence (RS) treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) or tongue-lip adhesion (TLA) for airway obstruction. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary Pediatric Hospital during 2004-2020. PATIENTS 148 patients with RS underwent MDO, 66 met inclusion by having MDO and followed by palatoplasty. 26 patients with RS underwent TLA, 14 met inclusion by having TLA and followed by palatoplasty. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patient characteristics, hospital/operative details, postoperative complications, and polysomnographic (PSG) data were compared. RESULTS Groups were well-matched except more patients with syndromes underwent MDO (N = 27, 41%, P ≤ .002). In the MDO and TLA cohorts, mean CP repair age was 12.8 ± 1.9 months and 14.6 ± 1.6 months, respectively (P ≤ .002). Despite the earlier CP repair in the MDO group, there were no differences in peri-operative complication rates after palatoplasty in either group. All sleep respiratory parameters improved after MDO/TLA prior to palatoplasty P ≤ .050. All PSG parameters remained significantly improved after palatoplasty compared to preoperative values, P ≤ .043. Obstructive apnea hypopnea index and Oxygen saturation nadir further improved after palatoplasty within the MDO group, P ≤ .050, while no changes in the TLA group, P ≥ .500. CONCLUSIONS MDO was associated with earlier age at palatoplasty than TLA with a similar perioperative risk profile. In those patients with pre- and post-palatoplasty PSG data, palatoplasty was not associated with a deterioration in PSG parameters, and in fact in the MDO group, PSG data improved.

Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is one of the rare genetic syndromes which is specified by symmetrical craniofacial dysmorphism without growth abnormalities or neurological disorders. The inheritance is usually autosomal dominant but sometimes it is a sporadic mutation. Prenatal diagnosis could be realized by genetic testing of a chorionic villus sample or amniocentesis if one of the parents is affected. At birth, the most common features are downward-sloping palpebral clefts, small badly hemmed and folded ears, and mandibular hypoplasia which could lead to respiratory distress. All of these clinical features exist in our case. Goldenhar syndrome shares with TCS some facial features which are not symmetrical and it is also associated with vertebral abnormalities. Some patients with TCS are exposed to many complications and they require multi-disciplinary medical care. But all of them need psychiatric care to fight social rejection. The aim of our report is to describe the most common features of TCS and similar syndromes. Also, report the involved genetic mutations, some associated complications, and their management.

Abstract
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may each have a role in effectively treating tongue-based airway obstruction (TBAO) in Robin sequence (RS). This study describes longitudinal outcomes after treatment of TBAO with CPAP and/or MDO. Retrospective cohort study. Tertiary Pediatric Hospital. A total of 129 patients with RS treated with CPAP and/or MDO from 2009 to 2019 were reviewed. Subjects receiving baseline and at least one follow-up polysomnogram were included. 55 who underwent MDO ± CPAP and 9 who received CPAP-only treatment were included. Patient characteristics, feeding, and polysomnographic data were compared and generalized linear mixed modeling performed. Baseline obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) was greater in the MDO-treated group (median x˜ = 33.7 [interquartile range: 26.5-54.5] than the CPAP-treated group (x˜ = 20.3[13.3-36.7], P ≤ .033). There was significant reduction in OAHI following treatment with CPAP and MDO modalities, P ≤ .001. SpO2 nadir after MDO was lower in syndromic (x˜ = 85.0[81.0-87.9] compared to nonsyndromic patients (x˜ = 88.4[86.8-90.5], P ≤ .005.) CPAP was utilized following MDO in 2/24 (8.3%) of nonsyndromic and 16/31 (51.6%) of syndromic subjects (P ≤ .001,) for a median duration of 414 days. Three patients (5%) underwent tracheostomy, all had MDO. Nasogastric tube feeding at hospital discharge was more common following MDO (44, 80%) than CPAP-only (4, 44.4%, P ≤ .036), but did not differ at 6-month follow-up (P ≥ .376). CPAP appears to effectively reduce obstructive apnea in patients with RS and moderate TBAO and be a useful adjunct in syndromic patients following MDO with improved but persistent obstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the pathology causing the severe facial dysmorphia of a medieval individual from the site of Rigny (Indre-et-Loire, France) and to evaluate its functional repercussions on the subject's hearing and social life. MATERIALS An individual from Rigny for the osteological study, 69 individuals from the region for the Ct-Scan study and 48 individuals from the site for the isotopic analysis. METHODS Macroscopic analysis was performed using standard osteological methods. Consequences of pathology on hearing were assessed by CT-scan. Dietary behaviour was analysed by stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of bone collagen. RESULTS The individual is a woman who was over 50 years of age at the time of her death with a severe form of Treacher-Collins syndrome that resulted in deafness. No osteological signs of maltreatment were observed and there is no evidence that this individual's diet was different from that of the rest of the community. CONCLUSIONS All information testifies to the integration of this individual into the village population. SIGNIFICANCE This study is the first archaeological description of Treacher Collins syndrome. It shows the ability of the paleopathological approach to help identify the attitudes of societies for which written sources are most often lacking. LIMITATIONS In the absence of palaeogenomic analysis it is not possible to identify the origin of this case. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH Increase the paleopathological semiology by CT-scan in order to specify the consequences of pathologies and integrate isotopic analyses to enrich discussion about perceptions of disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenotypes and treatment modalities (Tx-Mod) in patients with Treacher-Collins syndrome (TCS) using a TCS severity index (TSI). The sample consisted of 14 Korean TCS patients treated at the Department of Orthodontics, Seoul National University Dental Hospital during 1998 to 2019. The TSI was calculated by adding the scores from the number of deformity-involved midface structures (eye, ear, zygoma) and the degree of mandibular hypoplasia (Pruzansky-Kaban type, gonial angle, Sella-Nasion-B point angle). The deformity-involved midface structure, degree of mandibular hypoplasia, oral manifestations, dental phenotypes, and Tx-Mod types were investigated using descriptive statistics. The TSI classified the subjects into 2 mild, 6 moderate, and 6 severe cases. The severity of ear and zygoma deformities, degree of condylar hypoplasia (Pruzansky-Kaban type), clockwise-rotated morphology (gonial angle) and retrusive position (Sella-Nasion-B point angle) of the mandible, and frequency of oral/craniofacial cleft, openbite, congenitally missing tooth and impacted tooth showed a tendency of increase from mild to severe TCS cases. After growth observation (78.6%), diverse combinations of Tx-Mods were applied except for functional appliance therapy. Surgical procedures for eye, ear, and zygoma reconstruction were performed on all patients (100%), whereas fixed orthodontic treatment, mandibular distraction osteogenesis, and orthognathic surgery were performed on 50% of patients. Surgical procedure for hearing improvement was the most frequent Tx-Mod (78.6%). The main desires of TCS patients were to obtain the facial esthetics in the midface and to improve hearing function. The TSI might provide a primary data for individualized diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) and nonsyndromic Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) share mandibular deficiency as a similar clinical finding. This study aimed to compare the mandibular size and morphology of subjects with TCS and PRS. METHODS Group TCS was composed of 17 subjects (7 male, 10 female) with a mean age of 11.5 years (standard deviation, 4.4) from a single center. Group PRS was composed of 17 subjects paired by age and sex with group TCS. Preorthodontic cone-beam computed tomography examinations of all patients were evaluated using Mimics Innovation Suite 17.0 (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Nine 3-dimensional measurements were performed in segmented 3D images of the mandible. Intragroup comparisons were performed using paired t tests. Intergroup comparisons were performed using analysis of variance and Tukey tests. The significance level considered was 5%. RESULTS TCS showed a significant dimensional difference between less and more affected sides for ramus, condyles, and mandibular body. The mandibular dimensions in PRS were more symmetrical. Group TCS presented a smaller mandibular effective length and mandibular body length compared with PRS. The condyle width and height and the ramus width were also decreased in TCS. The gonial angle was greater in TCS compared with the PRS group. CONCLUSIONS Young subjects with TCS presented a smaller, more vertical, and more asymmetrical mandible compared with nonsyndromic PRS.

Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is associated with abnormal differentiation of the first and second pharyngeal arches, occurring during fetal development. Features of TCS include microtia with conductive hearing loss, slanting palpebral fissures with possibly coloboma of the lateral part of lower eyelids, midface hypoplasia, micrognathia as well as sporadically cleft palate and choanal atresia or stenosis. TCS occurs in the general population at a frequency of 1 in 50,000 live births. Four subtypes of Treacher Collins syndrome exist. TCS can be caused by pathogenic variants in the TCOF1, POLR1D, POLR1C and POLR1B genes. Genetically, the TCOF1 gene contains 27 exons which encodes the Treacle protein. In TCOF1, over 200 pathogenic variants have been identified, of which most are deletions leading to a frame-shift, that result in the formation of a termination codon. In the presented article, we review the genetics and phenotype of TCS as well as the management and surgical procedures utilized for treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe patterns and demographic characteristics of total-population hospital admissions with a diagnosis of Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) in Australia. DATA SOURCE Population summary data for inpatient hospitals admissions (public and private) with a principal diagnosis of TCS (ICD10-AM-Q87.04) were obtained from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare National Hospital Morbidity Database for a 11-year period (2002-2013). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was hospital separation rate (HSR), calculated by dividing the number of hospital separations by estimated resident population per year. Trends in HSR s adjusted for age and sex were investigated by negative binomial regression presented as annual percent change and the association of rates with age and sex was expressed as incidence rate ratio. RESULTS In 244 admissions identified, we observed an increase of 4.55% (95% confidence interval [CI] -1.78, 11.29) in HSR's over the 11-year period. Rates were higher during infancy (1.87 [95% CI 1.42, 2.42]), declining markedly with increasing age. The average length of hospital stay was 6.09 days (95% CI 5.78, 6.40) per episode, but longer for females and infants. CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate an increase in hospitalization rates, especially among infants and females which potentially relates to early airway intervention procedures possibly influenced by sex specific-disease severity and phenotypic variability of TCS. Awareness of the TCS phenotype and improved access to genetic testing may support more personalized and efficient care. Total-population administrative data offers a potential to better understand the health burden of rare craniofacial diseases.

Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a genetic disorder that presents with a variety of craniofacial deformities. One classic feature of TCS is a steep, counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane, and microretrognathia with bony deficiencies in both the body and ramus of the mandible. This morphology commonly necessitates reconstruction by the craniofacial surgeon. This article discusses strategies and considerations for surgically correcting the mandibular deformity associated with TCS using mandibular distraction osteogenesis and other related techniques. The proper implementation of these techniques can yield excellent results that greatly improve quality of life in this challenging patient population.

Abstract
The management of patients with Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) is complex and involves many different specialists within multidisciplinary teams (MDT). The treatment pathway extends from birth well into adulthood and is associated with a heavy burden of care. Due to the extensive nature of the interaction with these patients, MDT members have opportunities to provide enhanced patient-centred care and support.This case report provides an overview of the current knowledge of the aetiology of TCS, the management of these patients and provides a unique perspective from one of the coauthors who has TCS and reports on his treatment experiences and long-term treatment outcomes. By having a better understanding of the impact of TCS and treatment provided, MDT members can not only provide improved clinical treatment but also offer improved patient experiences for those with craniofacial anomalies in particular an increased awareness of the psychosocial challenges they endure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniofacial syndromes occur in approximately 1 in 5600 to 100,000 infants, often resulting in significant morbidity. Due to the heterogeneity of this patient population, no clear consensus consists on optimal treatment modalities and timing. The aim of this study was to analyze the craniofacial syndrome population that were treated at the University Hospital Leuven. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients with a clinical diagnosis of a craniofacial syndrome was performed. Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical diagnosis of a craniofacial syndrome and that received treatment between "2000-2005" and "2010-2015." Patients with nonsyndromic conditions were excluded. Data regarding patient characteristics, treatment modalities, and treatment outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS After matching the inclusion criteria, 98 eligible patients, affected by 40 different syndromes were included. In the period of "2000 to 2005," 48 patients were treated, as compared to 50 patients in the period of "2010 to 2015." A statistically significant decrease over time is seen for cleft surgery and orthodontic treatment (P = 0.0017 and P = 0.0015, respectively). No statistically significant differences were found concerning the age at which treatment was received (P = 0.42). Significant associations between treatment modalities were found for orthognathic surgery and distraction osteogenesis (P < 0.0001), orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment (P < 0.0001), and between orthodontic treatment and distraction osteogenesis (P = 0.03311). CONCLUSION A decline in cleft reconstruction surgery and orthodontic treatment for patients with craniofacial syndromes was seen over time. A significant association was found between distraction osteogenesis and orthognathic surgery, possibly due to higher reintervention rates for patients treated at a young age.

Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to assess the pharyngeal dimensions and the craniofacial morphology of individuals with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) when compared to vertical skeletal class II individuals. It is our hypothesis that the upper airways of individuals with TCS are reduced in view of the skeletal pattern and the maxillomandibular dysmorphologies. Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 26 individuals had the pharyngeal volume (V) and minimal cross-sectional area (mCSA) evaluated. Study group (TCS) was formed by 13 scans of patients with TCS (7 males and 6 females; 20.2 ± 4.7 years). Control group (CG) assembled 13 scans of nonaffected individuals with the same type of skeletal pattern (2 males and 11 females; 26.6 ± 5.4 years). Cephalometric data of maxillomandibular position, maxillomandibular dimensions, and growth pattern were assessed. Statistical analysis ( P ≤ .05) included Student t test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Although reduced, pharyngeal V and mCSA of TCS were not statistically different from the CG. On both groups, mCSA was mostly at the oropharyngeal level. Individuals with TCS presented retrognathic chin, reduced maxillomandibular dimensions, and increased clockwise rotation of the palatal plane. Maxillary and mandibular lengths were correlated with pharyngeal V and mCSA. Conclusions: The pharyngeal dimensions of individuals with TCS are impacted by the micrognathia and retrognathia. In association with the skeletal pattern, the reduction of the airways, although not statistically significant, may explain the increased prevalence of airways disorder in this syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The craniofacial rotation deformity in Treacher Collins syndrome results in airway compression that is not addressed by isolated mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Our purpose is to present a surgical technique-counterclockwise craniofacial distraction osteogenesis-that improves airway morphology and occlusal rotation in tracheostomy-dependent patients with this condition. METHODS All patients underwent subcranial Le Fort II osteotomies with simultaneous mandibular osteotomies, followed by coordinated maxillomandibular distraction with counterclockwise rotation. We reviewed pretreatment, posttreatment, and end-treatment cephalograms. Airway changes were assessed using polysomnography, sleep endoscopy, and direct laryngoscopy. Bivariate statistics were computed to compare pretreatment and posttreatment measures. RESULTS Five subjects (age range, 4.5 to 12.1 years) underwent this new procedure; three had previously undergone mandibular distraction. The average palatal plane rotation was 17 degrees, the effective mandible length increase was 18 mm, and the facial plane relative to skull base rotation was 14 degrees. There was a symmetric 30 percent relapse of rotation with maintained occlusion in the first 9 months of follow-up that then stabilized. Four patients were successfully decannulated following counterclockwise craniofacial distraction osteogenesis following polysomnography. Sleep endoscopy available on two patients demonstrated resolution of the upper airway obstruction. CONCLUSIONS Counterclockwise craniofacial distraction osteogenesis provided greater palatal rotation than previous techniques. The resulting improvement in airway anatomy allowed for decannulation in four of five tracheotomized patients. Stability of the counterclockwise rotation is comparable to that of related orthognathic operations, despite substantially greater magnitude. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, IV.

Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome usually affects bilateral and symmetric structures that include the orbits, mandible, and ears. The purpose of this report is to describe a clinical case of the syndrome, focusing on the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint, which was assessed using the computed tomography method. Clinical examination included evaluation of mandibular dynamics, investigation of temporomandibular dysfunction, and measurement of bite force. Significant morphological and functional alterations were observed but without significant documented clinical consequences.

Abstract
Objective This study explored the experiences and essences of growing up and living with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) from an adolescent perspective. Design A qualitative approach using the long interview method was used to explore the adolescents’ experiences. Semistructured interviews and peer debriefing techniques were used to gather and verify data with each participant. Participants A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit a sample of six adolescents with TCS, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years, who received care from a craniofacial center in a large pediatric hospital. Results The themes central to the adolescents’ experiences were balancing sameness and difference and the journey toward social and self-acceptance. Five subthemes further described this experience: reconstructing perceptions of others; making meaning of the difference; forming friendships and fitting in; handling staring and teasing; and excelling. Conclusions The study group described good psychosocial adjustment, experienced an increasing acceptance of self, TCS, and social acceptance over time and demonstrated resilient adaptive strategies (optimism, motivation, and positive meaning making). They were, however, also challenged by the social stigma associated with difference and by the challenges of finding a good fit in their school environments in meeting unique needs, particularly in their early grades. This study highlights the value of using a qualitative research approach in furthering our understanding of the experiences of children and youth with facial differences.

Abstract
Care of individuals with syndromes affecting craniofacial and dental structures are mostly treated by an interdisciplinary team from early childhood on. In addition to medical and dental specialists that have a vivid interest in these syndromes and for whom these syndromes are of evident interest, experts of scientific background-like molecular and developmental geneticists, but also computational biologists and bioinformaticians-, become more frequently involved in the refined diagnostic and etiological processes of these patients. Early diagnosis is often crucial for the effective treatment of functional and developmental aspects. However, not all syndromes can be clinically identified early, especially in cases of absence of known family history. Moreover, the treatment of these patients is often complicated because of insufficient medical knowledge, and because of the dental and craniofacial developmental variations. The role of the team is crucial for the prevention, proper function, and craniofacial development which is often combined with orthognathic surgery. Although the existing literature does not provide considerable insight into this topic, this descriptive review aims to provide tools for the interdisciplinary team by giving an update on the genetics and general features, and the oral and craniofacial manifestations for early diagnosis. Clinical phenotyping together with genetic data and pathway information will ultimately pave the way for preventive strategies and therapeutic options in the future. This will improve the prognosis for better functional and aesthetic outcome for these patients and lead to a better quality of life, not only for the patients themselves but also for their families. The aim of this review is to promote interdisciplinary interaction and mutual understanding among all specialists involved in the diagnosis and therapeutic guidance of patients with these syndromal conditions in order to provide optimal personalized care in an integrated approach.

Abstract
Facial skeletal reconstruction of patients with severe Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) requires correction of both midface and mandibular deficiencies. Implementing virtual surgical planning can provide an accurate three-dimensional analysis of craniofacial abnormalities, creating calvarial donors that match the anatomy of the desired malar augmentation and facilitating bimaxillary movements, positioning, and fixation in orthognathic surgery. We present a case of an 18-year-old patient with TCS, who underwent staged zygomaticomaxillary reconstruction and double-jaw osteotomy with sliding genioplasty, using computer-assisted surgical planning. Following these operations, the patient achieved not only improved facial harmony but also class I occlusion.

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
Different surgical solutions have been proposed for reconstruction of the auricle following loss of the pinna through traumatic injury or neoplastic disease or in patients with congenital defects. Surgical treatment may involve the insertion of an autogenous rib cartilage framework or the use of a porous polymer material inserted into an expanded postauricular flap. Reconstruction with rib cartilage has yielded good results but requires more than one surgical step, and adverse events can occur both at the donor and at the acceptor site; cases of prosthesis rejection have also been described following application of the polymeric prosthesis. The use of a titanium, dowel-retained silicone prosthetic pinna, fixed to the temporal bone, has recently been proposed. This useful surgical approach is indicated particularly after resection of the pinna caused by neoplastic disease or in traumatic auricular injury. Osseointegrated titanium implants used in 27 patients in this study provided them with a safe, reliable, adhesive-free method of anchoring the auricular prostheses. The prostheses allowed recovery of normal physical appearance and all the patients reported that they were completely satisfied with the outcome of the surgical reconstruction. No surgical complications, implant failures, or prosthetic failures were encountered over six months to three years.

Abstract
Treacher-Collins syndrome or mandibulofacial dysostosis is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development. In this familial syndrome there is an arrest in the development of the facial bones, manifested by a depression of the malar bones, an antimonogoloid slant of the palpebral fissures, mandibular hypoplasia with retrognathia, coloboma of the lower eyelids and deformities of the ear structures derived from the branchial arches. Frequently, there is external auditory canal atresia and deformity of the pinnae. Other uncommon anomalies include congenital heart defects and cryptorchidism. This study describes a rare case of Treacher-Collins syndrome associated with congenital cardiopathy and megacolon, with a review of the literature.

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
Teeth are housed in mandible and maxilla and are known to undergo variations in clinical presentation depending on the degree of abnormality during growth and development. It is essential to identify these variations in normal anatomy so that appropriate treatment can be initiated to address the anomaly. Some normal anatomic variations are harmless and best left alone, whereas others require intervention. Radiology plays a vital role in identification of such anomalies. This article focuses on the diagnostic radiographic interpretation and strategies to include pertinent differential diagnosis. Also discussed is the importance of advanced imaging and its appropriateness in the diagnosis and interpretation.

Abstract
The aim was to evaluate three different biodegradable polylactic acid- (PLA-) based osteosynthesis materials (OM). These OM (BioSorb, LactoSorb, and Delta) were used in 64 patients of whom 55 (85.9%) had fractures of the zygoma, five (7.8%) in the LeFort II level, two of the frontal bone (3.1%), and two of the maxillary sinus wall (3.1%). In addition to routine follow-up (FU) at 3, 6, and 12 months (m) (T1, T2, and T3) all patients were finally evaluated at a mean FU after 14.1 m for minor (e.g., nerve disturbances, swelling, and pain) and major (e.g., infections and occlusal disturbances) complications. Out of all 64 patients 38 presented with complications; of these 28 were minor (43.8%) and 10 major (15.6%) resulting in an overall rate of 59.4%. Differences in minor complications regarding sensibility disturbance at T1 and T3 were statistically significant (P = 0.04). Differences between the OM were not statistically significant. Apart from sufficient mechanical stability for clinical use of all tested OM complications mostly involved pain and swelling probably mainly related to the initial bulk reaction attributable to the drop of pH value during the degradation process. This paper includes a review of the current aspects of biodegradable OM.

Abstract
AbstractIntroduction Treacher Collins syndrome, or mandibulofacial dysostosis, is a hereditary disorder and is manifested by craniofacial malformations. The incidence is close to one case per 40,000 live births, without relation to gender or race. The infant carrier may present neurological development. This rare syndrome requires documentation of its main clinical and kinetic-functional consequences.Objectives The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and kinetic-functional findings for a child who has Treacher Collins syndrome and receives treatment in the Physiotherapy Department at the Pestalozzi Association in Goiania, and to present the evolution of motor function and psychomotor development during rehabilitation.Materials and methods The information was obtained through interviews with the mother, and evaluation of the child at nine and eleven months old, using the infant neurological assessment sheet, Inventory Operational Portage (IPO) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM).Results The GMFM showed that the child had a higher trend in the items for lying and rolling, sitting, crawling and kneeling and minor changes in the items for standing, walking, running and jumping. In the IPO, the child progressed in all of the assessed areas: infant stimulation, motor development, socialization, self-care, cognition and language.Conclusion The child showed progress in psychomotor development in accordance with that expected for their age and initial assessment. It is suggested that children with this syndrome be treated by multidisciplinary teams in the first years of life, preventing delays and deviations in development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Associated comorbidities can put syndromic patients with cleft palate at risk for poor speech outcomes. Reported rates of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) vary from 8% to 64%, and need for secondary VPI surgery from 23% to 64%, with few studies providing long-term follow-up. The purpose of this study was to describe our institutional long-term experience with syndromic patients undergoing cleft palatoplasty. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of all patients with syndromic diagnoses undergoing primary Furlow palatoplasty from 1975 to 2011. Outcomes included postoperative oronasal fistula (ONF) and need for secondary VPI surgery. Speech scores for verbal patients 5 years or older were collected via the Pittsburgh scale for speech assessment. Aggregate scores categorized the velopharyngeal mechanism as competent, borderline, or incompetent. Outcomes were analyzed by patient and operative factors. RESULTS One hundred thirty-two patients were included with average age at repair of 20.7 months. Cleft type was 9% submucosal, 16% Veau class I, 50% class II, 12% class III, and 13% class IV. Forty-five syndromes were recorded, most commonly Stickler syndrome (n = 32) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome [22q11.2DS (n = 19)]. Forty-four patients also had associated Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). The overall ONF rate was 4.5% and was highest in Veau class IV clefts (P = 0.048). Seventy-six patients were included in speech analysis, with an average age at last assessment of 10.4 years. Overall, 60.5% of patients had a competent velopharyngeal mechanism, 23.7% borderline, and 15.8% incompetent mechanism. Fifty percent of 22q11.2DS patients had borderline speech and none had competent speech, compared to 73.3% with Stickler syndrome (P = 0.01) and 71.4% of patients with associated PRS (P = 0.02). Secondary VPI surgery was performed in 11.4% of patients overall. Patients with PRS (13.6%) and with Stickler syndrome (15.6%) had secondary VPI surgery, compared to 31.6% of patients with 22q11.2DS (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates low rates of postoperative ONF after modified Furlow palatoplasty in syndromic patients. Speech outcomes were comparable to nonsyndromic patients at our institution, but patients with 22q11.2DS consistently had borderline-incompetent speech and a 3-fold higher incidence of secondary VPI surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine external and endonasal deformity, and satisfaction with nasal functioning and appearance, in Treacher Collins syndrome. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional cohort study was conducted. METHODS Eleven adult patients with Treacher Collins syndrome were compared with 151 controls in terms of satisfaction with nasal functioning and appearance by means of the Nasal Appearance and Function Evaluation Questionnaire. In all patients with Treacher Collins syndrome, external nasal deformities were scored on standardized digital photographs of the nose as rated independently by three experienced physicians. Endonasal deformity was determined by standardized nasal endoscopy. RESULTS The patients were relatively satisfied with the various esthetic nasal subunits. The most significant functional problems were snoring (P = 0.001) and quality of phonation (P = 0.003). The main external nasal deformities were the dorsal hump (73%), external deviation (≤55%), the bifid or bulbous nasal tip (55%), and columellar septal luxation (55%). In 82% of the patients, a septal deviation was found, often associated with spurs. CONCLUSION Satisfaction with esthetics of the nose was fair, but these patients suffer from the functional problems of snoring and impaired quality of phonation. A structured nasal ENT physical examination with nasal endoscopy might determine aspects requiring more attention during treatment. Septorhinoplasty can be performed at an adult age if there is a considerable esthetic wish of the patient and/or nasal obstruction combined with septal deviation. Attention should be paid to dorsal hump reduction, correction of the deviated external osseous framework, septoplasty, and correction of the nasal tip shape. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2b.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The molecular underpinnings of Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) are diverse. This article codifies the most recent findings in this complex area of research to further current understanding of the disease process. Elucidating the genetic causes of the disorder can be useful in earlier detection and better treatment planning. DESIGN Articles from 1991 to 2013 were selected and reviewed by five researchers utilizing the most recent literature of the genetics and pathophysiology of TCS. RESULTS Mutations in TCOF1, POLR1C and POLR1D have all been implicated in causing TCS. The association of the TCOF1 gene product, Treacle, and gene products of POLR1C and POLR1D with ribosome biosynthesis suggests that a loss of function mutation in these genes disrupts ribosome biosynthesis in constituent neural crest cells and neuroepithelium leading to apoptosis. However, recent data illustrating that P53 heterozygosity is protective against TCS, and that P53 and TCOF1 hemizygous embryos do not affect ribosomal function, implicates P53 or elements downstream of P53 as playing a role in TCS pathogenesis. CONCLUSION Our study codified nascent findings of the molecular determinants of TCS. These findings add to a burgeoning database of TCS-associated mutations, and as such, can be used to establish TCS diagnosis and further clarify TCS pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS, OMIM 154500) is a rare congenital disorder of craniofacial development. Characteristic hypoplastic malformations of the ears, zygomatic arch, mandible and pharynx have been described in detail. However, reports on the impact of these malformations on speech are few. Exploring speech features and investigating if speech function is related to phenotypic severity are essential for optimizing follow-up and treatment. METHODS Articulation, nasal resonance, voice and intelligibility were examined in 19 individuals (5-74 years, median 34 years) divided into three groups comprising children 5-10 years (n = 4), adolescents 11-18 years (n = 4) and adults 29 years and older (n = 11). A speech composite score (0-6) was calculated to reflect the variability of speech deviations. TCS severity scores of phenotypic expression and total scores of Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S) measuring orofacial dysfunction were used in analyses of correlation with speech characteristics (speech composite scores). RESULTS Children and adolescents presented with significantly higher speech composite scores (median 4, range 1-6) than adults (median 1, range 0-5). Nearly all children and adolescents (6/8) displayed speech deviations of articulation, nasal resonance and voice, while only three adults were identified with multiple speech aberrations. The variability of speech dysfunction in TCS was exhibited by individual combinations of speech deviations in 13/19 participants. The speech composite scores correlated with TCS severity scores and NOT-S total scores. Speech composite scores higher than 4 were associated with cleft palate. The percent of intelligible words in connected speech was significantly lower in children and adolescents (median 77%, range 31-99) than in adults (98%, range 93-100). Intelligibility of speech among the children was markedly inconsistent and clearly affecting the understandability. CONCLUSIONS Multiple speech deviations were identified in children, adolescents and a subgroup of adults with TCS. Only children displayed markedly reduced intelligibility. Speech was significantly correlated with phenotypic severity of TCS and orofacial dysfunction. Follow-up and treatment of speech should still be focused on young patients, but some adults with TCS seem to require continuing speech and language pathology services.

Abstract
A 3-year-old girl had multiple anomalies compatible with Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS). From the neonatal period, sucking was poor, making tube feeding necessary. Excessive saliva was retained in the oral cavity. Nasal leakage caused by the cleft palate was observed when she spoke. The initial videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) showed a poor posterior bolus transit and nasopharyngeal regurgitation. A delayed swallow reflex and bolus stasis at the vallecular and pyriform sinuses were recognized. Based on the VFSS findings, the patient underwent palatoplasty at 20 months of age. At approximately 23 months of age, a follow-up VFSS was performed; poor posterior bolus transit, nasopharyngeal regurgitation, and delayed swallow reflex were not observed. Finally, the patient was able to eat ground or chopped foods and solid foods orally. We deem VFSS to be helpful in deciding the appropriate management of dysphagia in TCS.

Abstract
Pierre Robin sequence and Treacher Collins syndrome are both associated with mandibular hypoplasia. It has been hypothesized, however, that the mandible may be differentially affected. The purpose of this study was to therefore compare mandibular morphology in children with Pierre Robin sequence with children with Treacher Collins syndrome using three-dimensional analysis of computed tomographic scans. A retrospective analysis was performed identifying children with Pierre Robin sequence and Treacher Collins syndrome undergoing computed tomography. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed, and ramus height, mandibular body length, and gonial angle were measured. These were then compared with those in control children with normal mandibles and with the clinical norms corrected for age and sex based on previously published measurements. Mandibular body length was found to be significantly shorter for children with Pierre Robin sequence, whereas ramus height was significantly shorter for children with Treacher Collins syndrome. This resulted in distinctly different ramus height-mandibular body length ratios. In addition, the gonial angle was more obtuse in both the Pierre Robin sequence and Treacher Collins syndrome groups compared with the controls. Three-dimensional mandibular morphometric analysis in patients with Pierre Robin sequence and Treacher Collins syndrome thus revealed distinctly different patterns of mandibular hypoplasia relative to normal controls. These findings underscore distinct considerations that must be made in surgical planning for reconstruction.

Abstract
The optimal timing and treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome with regard to zygomatico-orbital osseous reconstruction has not been fully established. Osseous reconstruction performed at an early age may result in bone graft resorption; however, delays in surgical improvement may result in adverse psychosocial effects on the patient. To study the optimal age for reconstruction clinically, we examined 3 age groups based on timing of malar and eyelid reconstruction using a three-dimensional computed tomographic scan and three-dimensional photometric volume assessment. In addition, we collected outcome assessments from parents/patients using satisfaction surveys. Of 73 patients with Treacher Collins at the University of California Los Angeles Craniofacial Clinic, 45 had malar reconstruction, complete records, and were available for study. The patients were separated into 3 groups: (1) very young = 0 to 5 years, (2) mid-childhood = 6 to 12 years, and (3) adolescent/adult 13 years and older. As hypothesized, the 0 to 5 age group experienced the greatest percentage of complete bony resorption (77%) compared with the 6 to 12 age group (only 4%) and the 13 and older age group (0%). Interestingly, the 0 to 5 age group experienced the highest parent/patient satisfaction, possibly owing to better psychosocial experience. When dealing with treatment plans for patients with Treacher Collins, patients, parents, and physicians must balance the benefits of early surgical intervention, such as improved psychologic well-being, with the disadvantages of having to undergo a greater number of procedures, such as fat grafting after malar bone graft resorption.

Abstract
Objective Le Fort III osteotomy with distraction osteogenesis (DO) is used to improve the retruded midface in patients with Crouzon or Apert syndrome. This study aimed to evaluate sagittal and vertical preoperative and postoperative cephalometric changes of DO of the midface in patients with Crouzon or Apert syndrome. Design Population-based case-control study. Patients and Methods Records of patients with the syndrome of Crouzon (N = 6) or Apert (N = 7) were compared, before and after Le Fort III DO, with a nonsyndromic untreated control group (N = 486). Main Outcome Measures Sagittal and vertical cephalometric maxillary landmarks and measurements were used to predict and measure midface advancement and rotation after Le Fort III DO. Cephalograms were taken before surgery (T0), 4 months after surgery at removal of the distraction device (T1), and 1 year after removal of the distraction device (T2). Analysis Z scores were performed to compare cephalometric measures of syndromic patients with control subjects. Results Cephalograms of 13 patients with Crouzon syndrome (N = 6) or Apert (N = 7) (age range 8.2 to 19.8 years) were evaluated. Treatment changes (T1-T2) showed statistically significant maxillary advancement, with no significant differences between the patients with the Crouzon or Apert syndrome. Conclusions DO of the midface in patients with Crouzon or Apert syndrome seems to be stable in the sagittal direction after follow-up. Although Crouzon and Apert differ after DO, anteroposterior craniofacial dimensions were significantly improved and were closer to patterns of normal subjects.

Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic disorder resulting in congenital craniofacial malformation. Patients typically present with downslanting palpebral fissures, lower eyelid colobomas, microtia, and malar and mandibular hypoplasia. This autosomal dominant disorder has a variable degree of phenotypic expression, and patients have no associated developmental delay or neurologic disease. Care for these patients requires a multidisciplinary team from birth through adulthood. Proper planning, counseling and surgical techniques are essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Here the authors review the features, genetics, and treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe orofacial features and functions and oral health associated with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) in relation to the variable phenotypic expression of the condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S), MHC Questionnaire, MHC Observation chart and clinical examinations of nasal and pharyngeal conditions and chewing and swallowing function were used to assess 19 individuals aged 5-74 years (median 34 years). TCS severity scores were calculated by a clinical geneticist. RESULTS Orofacial features characterizing the study group were altered profile, increased mandibular angle, narrow hypopharynx and facial asymmetry. Basic orofacial functions such as breathing, eating, facial expression and speech were affected in all subjects demonstrating orofacial dysfunction in at least two NOT-S domains (median NOT-S total score 4/12, range 2-7). Significant correlation was found between the TCS severity scores reflecting phenotypic expression and the NOT-S total scores reflecting orofacial function. Self-reported experience of dry oral mucosa was common. Overall, dental health was good with few carious lesions diagnosed, but considerable need for orthodontic treatment was documented. CONCLUSIONS Altered orofacial features and functions in TCS are common and often persist into late adolescence and adulthood. The functional level was correlated with the phenotypic variability of the condition. The standard of oral health was satisfactory. The findings indicated that individuals with TCS are likely to require lifelong health services related to their oral condition.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to determine which facial features and functions need more attention during surgical treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) in the long term. METHOD A cross-sectional cohort study was conducted to compare 23 TCS patients with 206 controls (all≥18 years) regarding satisfaction with their face. The adjusted Body Cathexis Scale was used to determine satisfaction with the appearance of the different facial features and functions. Desire for further treatment of these items was questioned. For each patient an overview was made of all facial operations performed, the affected facial features and the objective severity of the facial deformities. RESULTS Patients were least satisfied with the appearance of the ears, facial profile and eyelids and with the functions hearing and nasal patency (P<0.001). Residual deformity of the reconstructed facial areas remained a problem in mainly the orbital area. The desire for further treatment and dissatisfaction was high in the operated patients, predominantly for eyelid reconstructions. Another significant wish was for improvement of hearing. CONCLUSION In patients with TCS, functional deficits of the face are shown to be as important as the facial appearance. Particularly nasal patency and hearing are frequently impaired and require routine screening and treatment from intake onwards. Furthermore, correction of ear deformities and midface hypoplasia should be offered and performed more frequently. Residual deformity and dissatisfaction remains a problem, especially in reconstructed eyelids. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Down syndrome (DS) and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) are two leading causes of birth defects with phenotypes ranging from craniofacial abnormalities to cognitive impairment. Despite different origins, we report that in addition to sharing many phenotypes, DS and FAS may have common underlying mechanisms of development. METHODS Literature was surveyed for DS and FAS as well as mouse models. Gene expression and apoptosis were compared in embryonic mouse models of DS and FAS by qPCR, immunohistochemical and immunoflurorescence analyses. The craniometry was examined using MicroCT at postnatal day 21. RESULTS A literature survey revealed over 20 comparable craniofacial and structural deficits in both humans with DS and FAS and corresponding mouse models. Similar phenotypes were experimentally found in pre- and postnatal craniofacial and neurological tissues of DS and FAS mice. Dysregulation of two genes, Dyrk1a and Rcan1, key to craniofacial and neurological precursors of DS, was shared in craniofacial precursors of DS and FAS embryos. Increased cleaved caspase 3 expression was also discovered in comparable regions of the craniofacial and brain precursors of DS and FAS embryos. Further mechanistic studies suggested overexpression of trisomic Ttc3 in DS embyros may influence nuclear pAkt localization and cell survival. CONCLUSIONS This first and initial study indicates that DS and FAS share common dysmorphologies in humans and animal models. This work also suggests common mechanisms at cellular and molecular levels that are disrupted by trisomy or alcohol consumption during pregnancy and lead to craniofacial and neurological phenotypes associated with DS or FAS.
