Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), also known as mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti-Zwahlen- Klein syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder of soft tissue and the craniofacial bones. In most cases, TCS is the result of a mutation in the TCOF1 gene. The incidence is estimated to be between 1/10,000 and 1/50,000 live births. Our purpose was to describe a case report of patient with TCS born in the Department of Neonatology at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (Poland) and his family with short review of literature.
Case presentation
Clinical abnormalities which were found after birth mainly affect the head – hypoplasia of the cheek bones and the zygomatic bones, micrognation, deformed auricles with undeveloped external auditory canals, retrognathia of the mandible, cleft hard and soft palate and narrow palpebral fissure.
Conclusions
The treatment of children with TCS is long-term. Patients require a series of reconstructive and plastic surgical procedures. Our patient presented the complete form of TCS. There are multiple surgeries awaiting him, which, eventually, will improve his quality of life.
