Abstract:
The development of craniofacial structures is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular interactions. We report a case of congenital camptodactyly in a female who subsequently developed chronic tinnitus and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This report describes the clinicoradiographic features and surgical management of the facial skeletal manifestations, along with postoperative rehabilitation. Furthermore, a concise review of similar literature raises the question of whether this complex of manifestations represents a new entity or a minimal manifestation of a previously characterized syndrome. As such, a possible developmental association between camptodactyly and temporomandibular joint dysfunction is suggested.
摘要:
颅面结构的发育是复杂的,涉及多种细胞和分子相互作用。我们报告了一名女性的先天性喜乐症,随后发展为慢性耳鸣和颞下颌关节功能障碍。该报告描述了面部骨骼表现的临床影像学特征和外科治疗,随着术后康复。此外,对类似文献的简要回顾提出了一个问题,即这种复杂的表现是否代表了先前表征的综合征的新实体或最小表现。因此,提出了camptodetyly和颞下颌关节功能障碍之间可能的发育关联。
