The Role of Airway Management on Feeding Difficulties in Children With Pfeiffer Syndrome.

Background: Pfeiffer syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis, mid-face hypoplasia, broad thumbs, and often multilevel airway obstruction. Airway management is often required, including the use of positive airway ventilation, nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), or tracheostomy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact an airway adjunct can have on feeding difficulties in children with Pfeiffer syndrome.

Variations in Paranasal Sinus Anatomy in Children With Apert Syndrome: A Radiological Analysis.

Background: Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and premature closure of the coronal sutures. The restriction of cranial development may have a subsequent effect on paranasal anatomy development.

Aim: The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of paranasal sinus anatomical variations seen in children with Apert syndrome.

Inner Ear Anomalies in Children With Apert Syndrome: A Radiological and Audiological Analysis.

Introduction: Apert syndrome is a multisystem genetic disorder typically characterized by craniosynostosis and syndactyly. Studies also report an increased incidence of hearing loss in children with Apert syndrome in comparison to the general population. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the inner ear radiological anatomical variations seen in children with Apert syndrome and correlate these with audiological outcomes.
