Dysostosis Maxillofacial

Dysostosis of the maxillofacial region is a group of hereditary genetic diseases characterized by damage to the maxillofacial system during the growth and development of a child. They arise when there is a hereditary disorder in the formation of certain genes responsible for the normal formation of the dental system, walls, nose and hard tissues. Disosto

Dysosteosis of the maxillofacial region is a pathology that belongs to one of the forms of hereditary osteodystrophies. The disease has a chronic course and can lead to frequent relapses. Its ICD 10 code is Q 78.4. Dysosteosis syndrome occurs with equal frequency in both boys and girls - approximately 4 times more often in male offspring than in female offspring. Moreover, there is a possibility of transmission of pathology from carriers of mutated genes from one parent to another, and it occurs with a frequency of 25−32%.

With class 3 dysosterone, the patient can boast of normal height and weight and a slight delay in physical development. The child's head looks somewhat enlarged in size, has a deformation of the contours of the face - it is asymmetrical, with rounded shapes, making the facial expression resemble a mask. Deformations are especially noticeable when the eyes are open - wrinkles in the corners of the mouth, wrinkles in the area of ​​the bridge of the nose and eyes, slight asymmetry of the palpebral fissures, raised corners of the lips, and inward turning of the upper eyelid. The upper lip is thickened, and often an additional lip appears in the mouth under the upper lip. Some patients complain of facial pain and toothache. Often there is a burdened heredity. Sensitivity disturbances are observed in some areas of the face, and Rasossek syndrome is suspected.

Dental problems appear - caries, gum inflammation, malocclusion.
