The features of the syndrome are symmetrical. Hypoplasia of the malar bones and the mandible causes a hypoplastic face with sunken cheek bones. Eye abnormalities include a congenital notch in the lower eyelid margin (eyelid coloboma), and antimongoloid slanting of the palpebral fissure. The auricle is usually malformed and the external auditory meatus may be stenotic or atretic. The middle ear appears hypoplastic; the mastoid is unpneumatized. The tegmen tympani shows variable descent. Ossicular malformations are often present. The facial nerve very often follows an aberrant route through the temporal bone. The inner ear usually appears normal, although the lateral semicircular canal may be shortened and dilated.

What Is Treacher Collins Syndrome? Treacher Collins (mandibulofacial dysostosis) is a condition that affects the craniofacial area with slight to very severe anomalies. The most widely affected area is that of the cheek bones and jawbones, which are underdeveloped. This sometimes leads to breathing and eating complications. Other anomalies include microtia (absence or underdevelopment of the outer ear), hearing loss, abnormal eyelids, downward slanting of the eyes. Also, though with less frequency, heart defects and cleft lip and palate, have been known to occur. It affects roughly 1 in every 10,000 births. Though the first case was described in 1846, it did not become known as Treacher Collins Syndrome until 1900, when a British ophthalmologist, Dr. Treacher Collins, gave a definite diagnosis. New information is becoming more readily available, since the gene responsible for this syndrome has been located and identified. Characteristics of Treacher Collins: 1. Underdevelopment of the bones of the face 2. Absence of ears

TREACHER COLLINS Description Though the features of Treacher Collins syndrome have wide variability between people, it is most noticeably characterized by abnormalities of the head and face. These include: down slanting eyes with notched lower lids; underdeveloped cheek and jawbones, prominent nose, broad mouth and characteristically small chin with steep lower jaw angle. Ears are malformed or prominent and hair may extend towards the face; hearing loss is also possible. A minority of those affected with Teacher Collins syndrome may have: cleft lip and/or palate, heart defects, and strabismus (crossed eyes). Prevalence/Causes Treacher Collins syndrome occurs in approximately 1:50,000 live births. It is a genetic condition that is either inherited from a parent affected with the syndrome or occurs spontaneously as a first-time genetic mutation. An affected parent has a 50% chance of passing the condition on to a child. Treatment Airway, feeding and hearing difficulties are the three main areas requiring immediate treatment. A small jaw may impede newborn breathing and feeding.

Treacher Collins Syndrome The syndrome was named after an ophthalmologist called Treacher Collins in 1900. Since then it has received the medical name 'Mandibulofacial Dysostosis'. It may also be referred to as Franceschetti-Klein Syndrome. It is a condition which can cause facial malformations and severe hearing loss. Physical characteristics Someone with Treacher Collins Syndrome may have malformed cheekbones, chin, nose, jaw and temples. Eyelids are often drooping, seeming not to support the eyes, and there may be a small nick in the lower lid. The ears may be malformed or completely absent. Hairline and palate may also be unusual. Depressed cheekbones The cheekbones can be underdeveloped or absent. This means that the cheek muscles join onto the lower jaw muscles, and so cause the sloping eyes. This can be corrected by surgery using implants and bone grafts. Malformed or absent ears This will vary greatly from case to case. Some may just have small ears; others may have no ears at all. The outer ear may be folded or squashed. The middle ear can also be malformed or missing. Any hearing loss is almost always conductive and can vary from partial to severe. Corrective surgery will depend on the individual's condition and on which parts of the ear are missing. Artificial ears can be attached using Titanium - a metal that uniquely bonds with bone. Hearing may be improved with hearing aids. Most often a bone conduction hearing aid is used attached to a headband, but the use of Titanium to fix the hearing aid to the mastoid bone is becoming more widespread.

Treacher Collins Syndrome Treacher Collins Syndrome or mandibulofacial dysostosis is an inherited disorder (autosomal dominant gene). Individuals with the syndrome usually show evidence of downward slope or slant of the eye aperture (antimongoloid), deficiencies of the lower eyelids (colobomas), absent eyelashes in the inner aspect of the lower eyelids, deficiencies of the underlying orbital and zygomatic bones, varioius types of lower jaw (mandibular) deficiency, abnormalities of the external ears and, finally, misshaped sideburns. Treatment is directed at the following areas according to the age of the patient: At birth, we are concerned as to whether the child is breathing and eating adequately and whether the eyes are properly covered. In some cases, the lower jaw deficiency is so severe that a tracheostomy has to be performed or, in more recent years, distraction osteogenesis (bone lengthening) has prevented the need for tracheostomy in some children. In a few patients, gastrostomy was required to provide adequate nutrition for the baby. As the child grows, bone grafts of the cheek bones and eyelid reconstructions are considered to improve appearance in these areas. At the present time, the distraction technique is being applied for some individuals to correct the bone deficiency.

Treacher Collins Syndrome "I hope to melt away the uncertainty surrounding Treacher Collins Syndrome in hopes that a new trend in society will arise- a trend that looks inside the soul before judging someone because they don't look normal." - Annie Overview Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic, craniofacial birth defect which primarily affects the size and shape of the ears, eyelids, cheek bones, and upper and lower jaws. It occurs in approximately 1 of 10,000 births, making it a rare condition. The extent of severity varies from one affected individual to another. Some individuals have very subtle features of this syndrome that may go unrecognized, while others manifest more severe features that are noticed immediately. Most individuals with Treacher Collins Syndrome have normal intelligence, and are therefore able to attend regular schools. No evidence has been found that these individuals have a lower life expectancy than those who are not affected by the syndrome. Alternative medical names for this syndrome include "Mandibulofacial Dysostosis" and "Franceschetti- Klein Syndrome". Created by: Laura Brown, CDI 684: Craniofacial Anomalies
