ACROFACIAL DYSOSTOSIS, CINCINNATI TYPE; AFDCIN

Description

The Cincinnati type of acrofacial dysostosis is a ribosomopathy characterized by a spectrum of mandibulofacial dysostosis phenotypes, with or without extrafacial skeletal defects (Weaver et al., 2015).

CHOANAL ATRESIA-HEARING LOSS-CARDIAC DEFECTS-CRANIOFACIAL DYSMORPHISM SYNDROME

Alternate names

CHOANAL ATRESIA-HEARING LOSS-CARDIAC DEFECTS-CRANIOFACIAL DYSMORPHISM SYNDROME Is also known as oculootofacial dysplasia, burn-mckeown syndrome, oofd

Description

Choanal atresia - deafness - cardiac defects - dysmorphism syndrome, also known as Burn-McKeown syndrome, is an extremely rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by bilateral choanal atresia (see this term) associated with a characteristic cranio-facial dysmorphism (hypertelorism with narrow palpebral fissures, coloboma of inferior eyelid (see this term) with presence of eyelashes medial to the defect, prominent nasal bridge, thin lips, prominent ears), that can be accompanied by hearing loss, unilateral cleft lip, preauricular tags, cardiac septal defects and anomalies of the kidneys. The features of this syndrome overlaps considerably with those of the CHARGE syndrome (see this term).

Most common symptoms of CHOANAL ATRESIA-HEARING LOSS-CARDIAC DEFECTS-CRANIOFACIAL DYSMORPHISM SYNDROME

  • Short stature
  • Hearing impairment
  • Hypertelorism
  • Micrognathia
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
