Abstract:
Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS, OMIM 164210) is a complex condition characterized by defects in aural, oral, and mandibular development. Other craniofacial and extracranial anomalies can be present. With the exception of the Tessier number 7 cleft, atypical clefting has rarely been reported in association with OAVS. Here, we report on two unrelated cases with a typical phenotype of OAVS and a Tessier 30 associated cleft. One of them also had other atypical facial clefts. We discuss the association between atypical facial clefts and OAVS.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
