Craniofacial Morphology <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome<br />

Arvystas <strong>and</strong> Shpr<strong>in</strong>tzen,1984<br />

• Lateral cephalographs<br />

• 13 patients<br />

• Cranial base angle<br />

• normal literature - 129°<br />

• VCF - 137°


A Comparison of Two Syndromes with<br />

the Rob<strong>in</strong> Sequence<br />

Gl<strong>and</strong>er <strong>and</strong> Cisneros,'91<br />

• Velo-cardio-facial<br />

• non-Rob<strong>in</strong> (N=18) & Rob<strong>in</strong> (N=11)<br />

• Stickler<br />

• non-Rob<strong>in</strong> (N=11) & Rob<strong>in</strong> (N=9)<br />

• Cephalometric Analysis<br />

• 50 variables<br />

• Hard & soft tissue


Cephalometric Analysis<br />

Skeletal<br />

Soft Tissue


A Comparison of Two Syndromes with<br />

the Rob<strong>in</strong> Sequence<br />

Results<br />

• No difference between VCF (non-Rob<strong>in</strong>) <strong>and</strong> VCF<br />

(Rob<strong>in</strong>)<br />

• Rob<strong>in</strong> symptoms – neuromuscular<br />

• not due skeletal / soft tissue morphology<br />

• Morphological differences were noted<br />

• Stickler (non-Rob<strong>in</strong>) v. Stickler (Rob<strong>in</strong>)


Craniofacial Morphology <strong>and</strong> Velopharyngeal<br />

Physiology <strong>in</strong> Four Syndromes of Cleft<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Gold<strong>in</strong>g-Kushner,'91<br />

• Cephalometrics<br />

• Speech<br />

• Videofluoroscopy<br />

• Nasopharyngoscopy<br />

• Syndromes-<br />

• Velo-cardio-facial<br />

• Stickler<br />

• Treacher-Coll<strong>in</strong>s<br />

• Van der Woude


Craniofacial Morphology <strong>and</strong> Velopharyngeal<br />

Physiology <strong>in</strong> Four Syndromes of Cleft<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• In VCF<br />

• Flat cranial base<br />

• <strong>in</strong>creased pharyngeal depth<br />

• Th<strong>in</strong> pharyngeal soft tissue, th<strong>in</strong>/short soft<br />

palate<br />

• suggest<strong>in</strong>g muscle deficiency<br />

• Prevalence <strong>and</strong> severity of VPI <strong>in</strong>creased


Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome<br />

• Platybasia (cranial base)<br />

• Low sella<br />

• Short posterior cranial base<br />

• Normal anterior cranial base<br />

• Convex facial profile<br />

• Hyperdivergent jaw pattern<br />

• Short m<strong>and</strong>ibular body<br />

• Normal maxilla<br />

• Large/wide pharyngeal space


Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome


<strong>Dental</strong> Characteristics Associated with <strong>VCFS</strong><br />

Lehky,’96<br />

<strong>Dental</strong> characteristics associated<br />

with <strong>VCFS</strong> patients compared to<br />

controls <strong>and</strong> normative data


Distribution of congenitally<br />

miss<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>and</strong>ibular teeth


Distribution of congenitally<br />

miss<strong>in</strong>g maxillary teeth


Distribution of congenitally<br />

miss<strong>in</strong>g teeth by arch


Distribution of congenitally<br />

miss<strong>in</strong>g teeth


<strong>VCFS</strong><br />

Control group<br />

Previous data - general population<br />

• Higher prevalence of miss<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>and</strong>ibular teeth<br />

• Pattern of miss<strong>in</strong>g teeth differed<br />

• Delayed calcification - m<strong>and</strong>ibular posterior teeth<br />

• All permanent teeth - smaller mesial-distal width
