AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of combining medial and lateral canthoplasty with blepharoptosis correction in patients with congenital blepharophimosis syndrome.
- From January 2002 to May 2006, 26 patients aged 3 to 35 underwent the procedure, with significant improvements in eyelid dimensions and muscle function post-surgery.
- All patients expressed satisfaction with the results after a follow-up period of 3 months to 4 years, indicating that this one-stage surgical approach is a viable treatment option.
Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of combining medial and lateral canthoplasty with blepharoptosis correction at one-stage for congenital blepharophimosis syndrome.
Methods: From January 2002 to May 2006, 26 patients (52 sides) with congenital blepharophimosis syndrome were treated. There were 16 males and 10 females, aging from 3 to 35 years (mean 8.5 years). They were all bilateral blepharoptosis significantly. The palpebral muscle force was 0-3 mm; the transverse dimension and vertical dimension of the palpebral tissue were 13-22 mm and 2-4 mm; the intercanthal distance was 33-44 mm; the levator function was 1-3 mm.
Results: Twenty-six patients underwent medial canthoplasty and blepharoptosis correction of them. 12 patients were also given lateral canthoplasty at one-stage. The postoperative transverse dimension and vertical dimension of the palpebral tissue were 6-8 mm and 24-32 mm, respectively. The intercanthal distance was 29-34 mm. The levator function was 4-6 mm. The supratarsal fold in the upper lid was natural. With a follow up of 3 months to 4 years. all patients were satisfied with their results.
Conclusion: One-stage surgical treatment of combining medial and lateral canthoplasty with blepharoptosis correction can achieve good result for blepharophimosis syndrome with a shortened treatment time.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorder with dysmorphic facies and distal skeletal anomalies (NEDDFSA) is a recently described syndromic disease linked to genetic variants. We present a novel variant associated with a phenotype of NEDDFSA in a pediatric patient presenting with multiple anomalies including bilateral congenital ptosis and blepharophimosis, floppy eyelids, telecanthus, downward palpebral slants, myopia, cryptorchidism, hallux valgus and developmental delay.
Methods: Genetic testing performed on a large panel revealed a likely pathogenic variant in the gene (heterozygous, c.

Article Synopsis
- * Various MED12-related disorders show distinct patterns based on gender, affecting males and females differently, and involve conditions like Opitz-Kaveggia syndrome and Hardikar syndrome.
- * Recent findings from genetic studies reveal new variants of the MED12 gene that could link it to congenital diaphragmatic hernia in females, suggesting more complex genetic contributions to these disorders than previously thought.

Article Synopsis
- Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart diseases, making up about 40% of cardiac malformations and can occur alone or with other defects.
- The genetic causes of VSD are complex, involving chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, including known syndromes like DiGeorge and Holt-Oram.
- Recent advancements like comparative genomic hybridization have revealed numerous copy number variations linked to VSD, highlighting the genetic diversity in affected patients.
