E-Mail madhuriwalter@cmcvellore.ac.in Manuscript received: June 6, 2000; Revision accepted: August 7, 2000 Multiple pterygium (Escobar) syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder manifested by growth retardation, facial and genital anomalies, and widespread musculo-skeletal deformities. Pterygia-cutaneous webbing usually associated with joint contractures are the predominant feature of the syndrome(12). In the indexed Indian literature there is only one case report from Turkey of multiple pterygium syndrome in a female child with bilateral optic atrophy(3). In this report we present the clinical, radiographic and laboratory data of a female child morphologically similar to multiple pterygium syndrome with previously unreported features.

Extractions: Popliteal Pterygium Syndrome Using genomic DNA obtained from buccal (cheek) swabs or blood, the coding region (exons 3-9) of the IRF6 gene is screened by bi-directional sequence analysis. Fifty percent of individuals with Van der Woude syndrome and 85% of individuals with PPS show mutations in the IRF6 gene (Kondo et al., 2002). Our method is expected to detect the vast majority of mutations when present, although we will not detect those rare cases with whole-gene deletions.

Extractions: Dermatology Unit, la Rabta hospital, Tunis. amel_souissi@yahoo.fr The Van der Woude syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant condition typically comprising cleft lip or cleft palate and distinctive pits of the lower lips. The degree to which individuals carrying the gene are affected varies widely, even within families. The variable manifestations include lip pits alone, absent teeth, and isolated cleft lip and palate of varying degrees of severity. Other associated anomalies have also been described. We report a case of Van der Woud syndrome manifesting with isolated lower lip pits in an adolescent female with similarly affected family members. The occurrence of lip pits is autosomal dominant trait associated with developmental defects involving the paramedial portion of the vermilion of the lip. It is one of the more frequently occurring congenital malformations of the lower lip. Gurney (1940) reports four cases of lip pits in one family; Fogh-Andersen (1943) reports eleven cases of lip pits in three family groups; and Test and Falls (1947) reports lip pits in five generations of the same family [ ]. Van der Woude (1954) found, after careful study of five pedigrees, that the combination of pits of the lower lip with cleft lip and palate is based on a single dominant gene; he recognized a syndrome that has since been known as the Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) [

Extractions: Home Nail Disorders Pterygium Pterygium may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait or it may be associated with other syndromes. Pterygium is the inward advance of skin over the nail plate, usually the result of trauma to the matrix due to a surgical procedure or by a deep cut to the nail plate. Pterygium results in the loss of the nail plate due to the development of scar tissue. Cortisone is used to prevent the advancement of scar tissue. Never attempt to remove pterygium -instead, consult a physician for advice and treatment. Pterygia can vary from small, atrophic quiescent lesions to large, aggressive, rapidly growing fibrovascular lesions that can distort the corneal topography, and, in advanced cases, they can obscure the optical center of the cornea. Pterygium condition is usually self limiting. Here are some causes of Infected Pterygium: Pterygium should be treated as soon as they are recognized. Since the Pterygium is associated with iron deficiency it is important to take care of your nutrition to fight not only against spoon nails but also with the fatigue, mood changes and decreased cognitive proper function of this condition. Patients with pterygia can be observed unless the lesions exhibit growth toward the center of the cornea or the patient exhibits symptoms of significant redness, discomfort, or alterations in visual function. Pterygia can be removed for cosmetic reasons, as well as for functional abnormalities of vision or discomfort. Pterygium is usually caused through iron deficiency anemia. these nails show raised ridges and are thin and concave.

Extractions: Daniel Alexander Daniel was born on March 31, 2000 with a bilateral cleft lip (complete cleft lip on the left; incomplete on the right) and palate. Daniel also has popliteal pterygium syndrome* 5 weeks old. Daniel before lip repair. Daniel after lip repair surgery. (3-1/2 months old) Daniel's family includes mom (Tracie), Dad (Ken) and big sister Emily. This picture was taken right after Daniel's birth. *Here are the details in a nutshell: Popliteal Pterygium Syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder occurring in approximately 1 out of every 300,000 births. It is extremely rare. The most common birth defects associated with this syndrome are: (please forgive me if these don't make a whole lot of sense, I'm translating medical terminology and am not sure how good I'm doing) Cleft lip and palate, salivary lip pits in the lower lip (Daniel did have these too, they were removed at the time his lip was repaired) Intraoral tissue bands - bands of skin which inhibit full opening of the mouth (Daniel had these, they resolved themselves a few days after birth when he opened his mouth for one LUSTY cry) Fused digits (fingers or toes - Daniel's small toes are all fused together) Digital Reduction Defects [missing fingers/toes or fingers or toes that are in place but completely dysfunctional - Daniel's big toes on both feet are dysfunctional, and one - or both, (I'm shooting for just one because I think his right toe will be OK) will need to be removed]
