A 21-month-old Caucasian female with the combination of craniofrontonasal syndrome and a posterolateral defect of the diaphragm (type Bochdalek) is described. This is thought to be a previously undescribed combination. Pedigree analysis is consistent with an X-linked mode of inheritance of the craniofrontonasal syndrome.

Craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) is an X-linked developmental disorder caused by loss of function variants (LOFVs) in the ephrin B1 (EFNB1) gene located on Xq13.1. In CFNS, unlike in other X-linked disorders, females with heterozygous EFNB1 pathogenic variants (PVs) have a severe phenotype, whereas males carrying hemizygous EFNB1 PVs have a mild phenotype.

Article Synopsis
- Duplication of the pituitary gland is a rare condition, typically associated with various craniofacial malformations; this study reviewed ten patients to explore imaging features and potential causes of these anomalies.
- The imaging review focused on identifying the duplicated pituitary stalk and gland, along with noting distinct features of the hypothalamic region and associated abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord.
- The findings revealed normal imaging of the pituitary structures but several significant malformations and genetic mutations in the patients, indicating a complex interplay of developmental issues related to this anomaly.
Three-dimensional quantification of soft tissue changes and its relationship to skeletal changes after Le Fort III, monobloc, and facial bipartition in syndromic craniosynostosis.

To determine the effect of midface surgery on soft tissue changes and their relationship to hard tissue changes in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. A retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone Le Fort III (LFIII), monobloc (MB), or facial bipartition (FB) was conducted. A 3D soft tissue mesh was generated from the preoperative scan and registered to the postoperative scan, after which the advancement was visualised.

To determine the skeletal changes after midface surgery in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis who underwent Le Fort III (LFIII), monobloc (MB), or facial bipartition (FB). This was a retrospective study including 75 patients: 33 treated by LFIII, 29 by MB, and 13 by FB. Twenty-five had a diagnosis of Apert, 39 Crouzon, and 11 craniofrontonasal syndrome.

Craniosynostosis is a fetal skull condition that occurs when one or multiple sutures merge prematurely. This leads to limited growth perpendicular to the fused suture, which results in compensatory growth of cranial bones parallel to it. Syndromic craniosynostosis ensues when the cranial deformity is accompanied by respiratory, neurological, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and audio-visual abnormalities.
