CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS, BOSTON TYPE

Alternate names

CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS, BOSTON TYPE Is also known as csb, warman-mulliken-hayward syndrome, craniosynostosis, warman type, craniosynostosis, boston-type

Description

Craniosynostosis, Boston type is a form of syndromic craniosynostosis, characterized by a highly variable craniosynostosis with frontal bossing, turribrachycephaly and cloverleaf skull anomaly. Hypoplasia of the supraorbital ridges, cleft palate, extra teeth and limb anomalies (triphalangeal thumb, 3-4 syndactyly of the hands, a short first metatarsal, middle phalangeal agenesis in the feet) have also been described. Associated problems include headache, poor vision, and seizures. Intelligence is normal.

Most common symptoms of CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS, BOSTON TYPE

  • Seizures
  • Brachydactyly
  • Myopia
  • Downslanted palpebral fissures
  • Frontal bossing

PARIETAL FORAMINA WITH CLAVICULAR HYPOPLASIA

Alternate names

PARIETAL FORAMINA WITH CLAVICULAR HYPOPLASIA Is also known as parietal foramina with cleidocranial dysplasia, cleidocranial dysplasia with parietal foramina

Description

Parietal foramina with clavicular hypoplasia is a rare genetic bone development disorder characterized by parietal foramina in association with hypoplasia of the clavicles (short abnormal clavicles with tapering lateral ends, with or without loss of the acromion). Additional features may include mild craniofacial dysmorphism (macrocephaly, broad forehead and frontal bossing). No dental abnormalities were reported.

Most common symptoms of PARIETAL FORAMINA WITH CLAVICULAR HYPOPLASIA

  • Macrocephaly
  • Microtia
  • Broad forehead
  • Short clavicles
  • Abnormality of the clavicle

ENLARGED PARIETAL FORAMINA

Alternate names

ENLARGED PARIETAL FORAMINA Is also known as fpp, cranium bifidum occultum, fenestrae parietales symmetricae, hereditary cranium bifidum, catlin marks, pfm, parietal foramina, symmetric, cranium bifidum, hereditary, symmetric parietal foramina, foramina parietalia permagna

Description

Enlarged parietal foramina (EPF) is a developmental defect, characterized by variable intramembranous ossification defects of the parietal bones, which is either asymptomatic, symptomatic (headaches, nausea, vomiting, intellectual disability) or associated with other pathologies.

Most common symptoms of ENLARGED PARIETAL FORAMINA

  • Seizures
  • Cleft palate
  • Macrocephaly
  • Headache
  • Confusion
