Abstract
Abstract Objectives Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), also known as mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti-Zwahlen- Klein syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder of soft tissue and the craniofacial bones. In most cases, TCS is the result of a mutation in the TCOF1 gene. The incidence is estimated to be between 1/10,000 and 1/50,000 live births. Our purpose was to describe a case report of patient with TCS born in the Department of Neonatology at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (Poland) and his family with short review of literature. Case presentation Clinical abnormalities which were found after birth mainly affect the head – hypoplasia of the cheek bones and the zygomatic bones, micrognation, deformed auricles with undeveloped external auditory canals, retrognathia of the mandible, cleft hard and soft palate and narrow palpebral fissure. Conclusions The treatment of children with TCS is long-term. Patients require a series of reconstructive and plastic surgical procedures. Our patient presented the complete form of TCS. There are multiple surgeries awaiting him, which, eventually, will improve his quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
