Facial nerve dysfunction (FND) is a well-recognized but poorly documented complication of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for Robin sequence (RS). This study aims to document the authors' experiences with FND and identify risk factors associated with this adverse event. A retrospective review of a prospectively gathered database was performed to identify patients with RS who underwent MDO at the authors' institution from March 2016 to June 2023.

Typically, primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) develops as a result of multiglandular hyperplasia, parathyroid cancer, or parathyroid adenoma. Patients usually present with skeletal manifestations such as low-trauma fractures. Osteitis fibrosa cystica (OFC) is a classic yet rare skeletal manifestation of advanced PHPT currently reported in less than 2% of patients.

Article Synopsis
  • - Robin sequence (RS) is characterized by a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction, potentially leading to a cleft palate due to developmental issues.
  • - RS can occur alone (isolated RS) or alongside other syndromes (syndromic RS), and diagnosis is primarily through clinical observation or imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI.
  • - Treatment aims to alleviate airway obstruction and glossoptosis through both conservative methods (like positioning and respiratory support) and surgical options (like tracheostomy and mandibular distraction), with ongoing research focused on genetics and improving detection and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital condition characterized by underdevelopment of the ear and facial structures, typically involving hypoplasia of the jaw and other facial bones.
  • Treatment requires a multidisciplinary team, including specialists like plastic surgeons and orthodontists, and focuses on addressing both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the condition.
  • The study emphasizes the need for successful reconstructive surgery since hemifacial microsomia is present at birth, and proper integration into society is crucial for affected infants.
