Coronal Clival Cleft: Estimated Prevalence and Clinical Associations in a Pediatric Cohort
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Coronal clival cleft is a congenital corticated defect traversing the basioccipital portion of the clivus, beneath the spheno-occipital synchondrosis. It has been reported in cases of CHARGE syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, anencephaly, hemifacial microsomia, Chiari defo

There are many resources available at #unmcMMI to assist with #craniofacial differences. To learn more about the Departments of Genetic Medicine, Speech-Language Pathology, and Pediatric Feeding Disorders, visit:
www.unmc.edu/mmi/services...

#mmiGeneticMedicine #mmiSLP #mmiFeeding
• There are many different types of craniofacial differences. o The most common, cleft lip and palate, most often occurs by chance and there is not a clear genetic reason to explain why someone has a cleft. o Some craniofacial differences have an underlying genetic cause, and genetic testing can be helpful in understanding if there are any other health concerns associated with a person's craniofacial difference. • If you are interested in understanding why you have a craniofacial difference, a genetics team can discuss why craniofacial differences occur and if genetic testing could be helpful. • If you have personal or family history of craniofacial differences, you can meet with prenatal genetic counselor to discuss the chances of having a child with a craniofacial difference. UNMC MMI logo and branding. • Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are essential in providing assessment and intervention for feeding/dysphagia and speech disorders from infancy through adulthood for individuals with craniofacial differences. • Craniofacial anomalies such as cleft lip/palate, craniosynostosis, and craniofacial microsomia frequently result in feeding difficulties due to structural and functional impairments affecting sucking, swallowing, and airway protection. SLPs collaborate with other specialists to optimize feeding strategies, which may include specialized bottles, positional changes, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions or tube feeding to ensure adequate nutrition and prevent aspiration. • Speech development is also commonly affected in children with craniofacial differences. Structural anomalies can lead to velopharyngeal insufficiency, hypernasality, articulation errors, and delayed language acquisition. SLPs are responsible for early identification, ongoing monitoring, and targeted therapy to address these deficits, working closely with other specialists. UNMC MMI logo and branding. • The Department of Pediatric Feeding Disorders has an interdisciplinary team to address all aspects of a feeding concern (medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and behavioral health) and provide individualized treatment that fits your child. We only do feeding all day, everyday, which gives us the experience and expertise needed to address the complex needs of individuals with craniofacial differences. • We have a unique 8-week, all-day treatment program to give your child a jump start when they need to learn to eat baby food, drink fluids, and/or learn to chew. • We also have an interdisciplinary outpatient program (one appointment weekly) staffed with all of the healthcare professionals your child needs to learn to eat and drink, including a psychologist, speech-language pathologist, and registered dietitian. We offer joint appointments during which multiple disciplines work with you and your child at the same time to treat your child as effectively and efficiently as possible. UNMC MMI logo and branding.

I was a Microtia baby! I didn’t know we had a DAY.

I’m pretty rare—left side. I’m told that boys mostly have left side Microtia. I also have hemifacial microsomia.

I wrote about it in my blog. For anyone who might be interested, it’s here:

2. I have a birth defect called hemifacial microsomia, which means the right side of my jaw is shorter than the other and my right ear is deformed (hence why it's not visible in my photos). I have a pretty mild case of this though, luckily.

Oc fact ! Xhip was born with a combination of an immunodeficiency disorder, a sort of EDS, and something akin to hemifacial microsomia that affects other growths that his species normally have around their head, which causes the anomalous large fin splitting his face. 1/2

Comic snapshot sketch from work, testing out how Xhip’s mobility suit works :3 #myoc #sketch #ocsky #comic
A large drawing of Babs’ character Kidlat with his arms wrapped tightly around Xhip’s neck, holding on while Xhip operates a large quadrupedal dig rig, but instead of going underground, they’re using it to scale the side of a huge tableaux. Xhip looks upward while Kid looks down with a worried expression. No seatbelts for you. To the side, speech bubbles appear. Kidlat: “The view’s great but- AREN’T KAECILIDS BURROWERS?!” (The last half of the sentence is in a spiky speech bubble) Xhip: [calmly] “Stop squirming-! And here I thought you lost your sense of adventure.” “And we are, but not..” “..her.”
