Abstract
The ocular findings and visual prognosis were reviewed in 24 patients with the Treacher-Collins syndrome who were evaluated in the craniofacial clinic in the Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia between 1980 and 1991. All patients had some abnormality. Vision loss was present in 37% of patients. Amblyopia was present in 33%, significant refractive errors were present in 58%, and anisometropia was documented in 17%. Strabismus was present in 37% and significant lid and adnexal abnormalities were seen in 96%. The prognosis for normal vision in at least one eye is good but vision loss secondary to amblyopia is more resistant to treatment owing to other medical problems and social concerns.

Abstract
We describe a 2-year-old girl with a rare combination of congenital red cell aplasia or Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) and Treacher-Collins syndrome (TCS). The anemia is only marginally responsive to high-dose corticosteroid, and the child is transfusion dependent. There is no one in the family affected with either DBA or TCS. A hypothesis is advanced that the simultaneous occurrence of the dysmorphism and erythroid agenesis in this case may have been the consequences of an insult to the fetus at the critical stage of development of maxillomandibular structure and the stage of primitive erythroid cell migration from the yolk sac to the fetal liver and bone marrow.

Abstract
A twenty-nine-year-old man suffering from Franceschetti syndrome requiring a retinal detachment operation was successfully anaesthetised using the laryngeal mask airway. The laryngeal mask has many advantages compared to endotracheal intubation in patients suffering from craniofacial abnormalities i.e. hypoplasia of the mandibular bone and ventral position of the larynx. In these cases the laryngeal mask is easily placed. However, the facilities of fibreoptic bronchoscopy should be readily available. The physician should have gained confidence in using a laryngeal mask before employing this device in cases of difficult intubation.

Abstract
Mandibulofacial dysostosis, also known as Treacher Collins syndrome, is a rare congenital anomaly that must be identified in infancy to prevent irrevocable developmental impairment. Information is sparse in the current medical literature concerning this rare syndrome. This article reports a case of Treacher Collins syndrome with the presence of a scarring alopecia and acne keloidalis nuchae, which are possibly coincidental symptoms, but have not been previously described clinically in this malady.

Abstract
Mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD) is a syndrome characterized by partial lipodystrophy and a distinct phenotype, which includes progressive osteolysis of the mandible and clavicles, cutaneous atrophy, joint contractures, and diabetes mellitus. We now describe the results of hyperinsulinemic glucose clamps performed in conjunction with indirect calorimetry in two subjects with MAD. At a glucose level of 5 mmol/L and insulin concentration of over 6.5 x 10(4) pmol/L, glucose disposal rates were less than 20% of maximum insulin-stimulated glucose disposal in five nondiabetic controls. Basal hepatic glucose output was elevated in the two patients and was incompletely suppressed by a 1200 mU/m2.min infusion of insulin. Glucose and lipid oxidation rates were inappropriately elevated, reflecting marked hypermetabolism. Pharmacological concentrations of insulin failed to normally suppress lipid oxidation, diminish FFA levels, or adequately suppress glucagon levels. In summary, MAD is a unique form of lipodystrophic diabetes characterized by typical somatic features, extreme insulin resistance, and marked hypermetabolism.

Abstract
We describe 2 unrelated families with male-to-male transmission of Nager syndrome. All 5 affected individuals have moderate expression of the phenotype. One affected boy also has Hirschsprung disease. Although Nager acrofacial dysostosis usually occurs sporadically, both recessive and dominant inheritance have been suggested on the basis of reported familial cases. The 2 families described here with father-to-son transmission strongly support the hypothesis that some cases of Nager acrofacial dysostosis occur in individuals who are heterozygous for dominantly expressed, autosomal mutations.

Abstract
The mandibulo-facial dysostosis syndrome (Treacher-Collins syndrome) was first described in 1889. It is a syndrome with multiple presentations, the classification for which was devised by Franceschetti and Zwahlen in 1944. The eye signs are an important part of this syndrome. In addition to the main ocular features of colobomata of the lower eyelids and an anti-mongoloid slant, many other eye signs have been reported. An 18-year-old Indian male was found to have features not previously described. These are high myopia, dermolipoma, lens subluxation and secondary glaucoma.

Abstract
Four cases with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) are presented. They consisted of two cases with TMJ ankylosis with micrognathia, one case with Treacher Collins Syndrome, and one case with the Long Face Syndrome. Standard and specific cephalometric parameters were obtained to detect the site of the obstruction. Polysomnographic studies yielded information regarding the patient's sleep-wake state, respiratory and cardiac functioning, pre- and post-operatively. A temporary tracheostomy corrected the symptoms in one patient but the syndrome recurred when it was closed. Surgical correction of the maxillofacial anomalies will re-establish normal sleep patterns preventing OSAS.

Abstract
We discuss two cases of Hanhart syndrome, diagnosed at 3 days and 4 months respectively. Minimal diagnostic criteria (micrognathia and peromelia) are reported, and various etiologic hypothesis are discussed. This syndrome includes others as: aglossia-adactylia, hypoglossia-hypodactylia, oro-acral, oro-mandibular-limb-hipogenesis, ankyloglosia superior, glossopalatine ankylosis, peromelia and micrognathia. Emphasize the impossibility of prevention; the patients may die because of food aspiration, both parents an children being subsidiary of psychological support. The possibilities of logopedical treatment and prothesis of peromelic limb must be evaluated.

Abstract
Seven patients who had the complete form of mandibulofacial dysostosis were examined to determine the prevalence of nasolacrimal abnormalities. Bilateral inferior punctal atresia (and, by implication, accompanying inferior canalicular atresia) was identified in all seven patients; a 95% confidence interval for the true underlying rate of this finding in mandibulofacial dysostosis is 59% to 100%. Lacrimal surgery was required in only one patient who had coexistent bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction and chronic dacryocystitis and who responded well to bilateral dacryocystorhinostomy.

Abstract
Seventeen patients with Goldenhar's syndrome who had surgery 28 times are presented. Various authors have reported problems in the anaesthetic management of these patients, but we encountered significant difficulties in only one. Three anaesthetic techniques were used. A thorough pre-operative assessment with back-up facilities for difficult intubation are important. Additional cardiorespiratory and craniovertebral anomalies may necessitate modifications in the basic techniques.

Abstract
A ten-year-old girl with Goldenhar syndrome underwent intracardial repair for partial anomalous right pulmonary venous connection into the superior vena cava. In surgical procedure the proximal tract of superior vena cava was reconstructed into double floor, low floor was tract for anomalous pulmonary venous blood drained into left atrium through the atrial septal defect which was made with resection of prinum septum, upper floor was a real tract for superior venous blood. After operation, arrhythmia did not detect. One month after operation, no stenosis along the superior vena cava or right pulmonary vein were evidenced in catheterization. This surgical technique is superior to using baffle for preventing thrombogenesis. The result suggested that this surgical technique is preferable to the reconstruction of baffle in superior vena cava.

Abstract
The paper presents five cases of the Syndrome described by Goldenhar, which consists in oculo-auriculo-vertebral alterations. Classic descriptions relate the presence of epibulbar dermoid, pre-auricular appendixes, mandible hypoplasia and vertebral anomalies. Excepting by some vertebral alterations, all the other anomalies were common to the five cases. This syndrome may be accompanied by congenital cardiopathy in a percentage varying from 15 to 50%, depending on the publications. The reason of hospitalization was the real presence of congenital cardiopathy of important clinical repercussion. Three patients had Tetrad of Fallot, one transposition of the great arteries, and the last one total annomalous pulmonary venous connection, which died due to clinical complications. The four patients were submitted to surgical correction of their cardiac defects, being the face defects programmed to the corrected later on.

Abstract
A female baby was born with phocomelia, bilateral cleft lip and palate, marked micrognathia, malar hypoplasia, absence of lower eyelids, and absence of external ears. Radiological examination showed hypoplastic pectoral and pelvic girdles, short humeri and femora, with absence of forearms and legs, and oligodactyly of upper limbs. Her mother has triphalangism of the left thumb and a hypoplastic right thumb with stiff metacarpophalangeal joint. She also has downward-slanting palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia, and deepset eyes. This observation offers an opportunity to revisit the acrofacial dysostoses syndromes, including Nager-Reynier syndrome, Genée-Wiedeman syndrome, and lethal forms.

Abstract
Congenital absence of the portal vein with systemic visceral venous return in a 8-year-old girl with oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar Syndrome) had been previously reported following its discovery during preoperative evaluation of a liver mass which was diagnosed as focal nodular hyperplasia after open biopsy. Subsequently, an enlarging diffuse hepatic neoplasm developed with associated elevated alpha feto-protein levels. Repeat biopsy and imaging showed the tumor to be a hepatoblastoma involving both lobes of the liver. The patient was treated by hepatic resection and orthotopic liver transplantation and is doing well at 18 months follow-up.
