Features include: drooping eyelids which may be associated with a nick in the lower lid; variable degrees of malformed or absent ears, the middle ear may also be malformed or missing causing conductive deafness; receding chin at birth; hairline and palate may also be unusual (cleft palate or choanal atresia may occur in severe cases). Associated problems may include dental, breathing and eye infections. Three similar conditions are: Nager which is a syndrome with similar mandibular dysostosis anomalies to Treacher Collins but with additional arm and digital anomalies: Aural atresia of the ears (congenital imperforation of the normal channel or pathological closure of the channel in the ears): First and second arch syndromes which are inclusive titles for developmental errors of the facial bones and which include Treacher Collins syndrome.

Extractions: Employment Treacher Collins syndrome is named after the man who described it. Treacher Collins syndrome is sometimes called Mandibulofacial Dysostosis. Mandibulofacial Dysostosis describes some of the features of this syndrome. Mandibulo refers to the lower jaw, and facial to the face. Dysostosis means that certain bones are not formed normally. The lower jaw and cheekbones are often smaller than usual (also known as mandibular hypoplasia and malar hypoplasia respectively). Other possible features of Treacher Collins syndrome? Treacher Collins syndrome is associated with lower eyelid coloboma, which means a small notch missing from the lower eyelid. About half of people with Treacher Collins syndrome are missing some eyelashes on the lower eyelid. Differences in the way the ear is formed, such as absence of the external auditory canal or microtia (small ear), ear tags (extra bits of skin in front of the ear) and little pits near the ear are common. Hearing loss of varying degrees may also occur. While it is unusual to have a cleft lip and palate with Treacher Collins syndrome, cleft palate alone is not an unusual finding occurring in about a third of people with Treacher Collins syndrome. Learning problems are not normally associated with Treacher Collins syndrome.

Extractions: Treacher Collins Syndrome The syndrome was named after an ophthalmologist called Edward Treacher Collins in 1900. It can also be known by other names such as Berry-Treacher Collins Syndrome, Franceschetti-Klein Syndrome, Franceschetti-Zwahlen Syndrome and Thomson complex. It is a condition that causes facial malformations and severe hearing loss. Physical characteristics Someone with Treacher Collins Syndrome may have malformed cheekbones, chin, nose, jaw and temples. Eyelids are often drooping, seeming not to support the eyes, and there may be a small nick in the lower lid. The ears may be malformed or completely absent. Hairline and palate may also be unusual. Depressed cheekbones The cheekbones can be underdeveloped or absent. This means that the c heek muscles join onto the lower jaw muscles and so cause sloping eyes. This can be corrected by surgery using implants and bone grafts. Malformed or absent ears This will vary greatly from case to case. Some may just have small ears; others may have no ears at all. The outer ear may be folded or squashed. The middle ear can also be malformed or missing. Any hearing loss is almost always conductive and can vary from partial to severe. Corrective surgery will depend on the individual and on which parts of the ear are missing. Artificial ears can be attached using Titanium, a metal that uniquely bonds with bone. Hearing may be improved with hearing aids. Most often a bone conduction hearing aid is used, attached to a headband, or a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid attached directly to the mastoid bone.

Extractions: Treacher Collins syndrome is the name given to a birth defect which may affect the size and shape of the ears, eyelids, cheek bones, and upper and lower jaws. The extent of facial deformity varies from one affected individual to another. A physician named Treacher Collins was one of the first to describe this birth defect. "Syndrome" refers to the group of deformities which characterizes affected individuals. Another commonly used medical name for this syndrome is "mandibulofacial dysostosis." What causes it? This syndrome is caused by an abnormality in the genes. If both parents are normal, that is showing no signs of the syndrome themselves, this abnormality is the result of a change in the genetic material at the time of conception. The exact cause of this change is not known. If one parent is affected, the abnormal gene is then known to have been contributed by that parent. Does this mean that this can happen again in my family?
Extractions: @import url(/assets/styles/main.css); Skip Navigation Search: Treacher Collins is a rare, inherited, congenital craniofacial condition affecting the bones, jaws, skin and muscles of the face. A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one identifying feature or symptom. Children with Treacher Collins syndrome have many facial features in common, although there is a wide variation in the severity of the condition. Because this syndrome involves a number of different areas of the face, the treatment requires the skills and experience of a craniofacial team with a coordinated treatment plan. The other names for Treacher Collins syndrome are mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti-Zwalen-Klein syndrome. back to top How much experience do you have treating Treacher Collins syndrome?
Treacher Collins Syndrome treacher collins syndrome is a genetic, craniofacial birth defect which Most individuals with treacher collins syndrome have normal intelligence, http://mick.murraystate.edu/cdi684/cdi684001/LBROWN/
Extractions: Overview Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic, craniofacial birth defect which primarily affects the size and shape of the ears, eyelids, cheek bones, and upper and lower jaws. It occurs in approximately 1 of 10,000 births, making it a rare condition. The extent of severity varies from one affected individual to another. Some individuals have very subtle features of this syndrome that may go unrecognized, while others manifest more severe features that are noticed immediately. Most individuals with Treacher Collins Syndrome have normal intelligence, and are therefore able to attend regular schools. No evidence has been found that these individuals have a lower life expectancy than those who are not affected by the syndrome. Alternative medical names for this syndrome include "Mandibulofacial Dysostosis" and "Franceschetti- Klein Syndrome". Created by: Laura Brown, CDI 684: Craniofacial Anomalies

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Treacher Collins Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by distinctive abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area due to underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of certain portions of the skull (e.g., supraorbital rims and zygomatic arches). Although the symptoms and physical characteristics associated with Treacher Collins Syndrome can vary greatly in severity from patient to patient, craniofacial abnormalities tend to involve the cheekbones, jaws, mouth, ears, and/or eyes.
