Clavicular hypoplasia, zygomatic arch hypoplasia, and micrognathia: a newly defined syndrome
1University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, USA.
Abstract:
We report on a 6-year-old boy with a previously undefined syndrome of clavicular hypoplasia, frontonasal malformation, zygomatic arch hypoplasia, micrognathia, and normal intelligence. His condition differs from similar syndromes on the basis of unique facial findings such as microcornea, stellate irises, and a midline maxillary cleft. We present his case, a review of the literature, and propose the acronym CHZAM, for clavicular hypoplasia, zygomatic arch, and micrognathia, to represent this syndrome.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
