OBJECTIVEThe authors evaluated the long-term outcome of their treatment protocol for Muenke syndrome, which includes a single craniofacial procedure.METHODSThis was a prospective observational cohort study of Muenke syndrome patients who underwent surgery for craniosynostosis within the first year of life. Symptoms and determinants of intracranial hypertension were evaluated by longitudinal monitoring of the presence of papilledema (fundoscopy), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; with polysomnography), cerebellar tonsillar herniation (MRI studies), ventricular size (MRI and CT studies), and skull growth (occipital frontal head circumference [OFC]). Other evaluated factors included hearing, speech, and ophthalmological outcomes.RESULTSThe study included 38 patients; 36 patients underwent fronto-supraorbital advancement. The median age at last follow-up was 13.2 years (range 1.3–24.4 years). Three patients had papilledema, which was related to ophthalmological disorders in 2 patients. Three patients had mild OSA. Three patients had a Chiari I malformation, and tonsillar descent < 5 mm was present in 6 patients. Tonsillar position was unrelated to papilledema, ventricular size, or restricted skull growth. Ten patients had ventriculomegaly, and the OFC growth curve deflected in 3 patients. Twenty-two patients had hearing loss. Refraction anomalies were diagnosed in 14/15 patients measured at ≥ 8 years of age.CONCLUSIONSPatients with Muenke syndrome treated with a single fronto-supraorbital advancement in their first year of life rarely develop signs of intracranial hypertension, in accordance with the very low prevalence of its causative factors (OSA, hydrocephalus, and restricted skull growth). This illustrates that there is no need for a routine second craniofacial procedure. Patient follow-up should focus on visual assessment and speech and hearing outcomes.

The clinical course of nephrosis in five infants with onset of disease before 7 months of age is presented, together with evaluation of renal lesions seen at necropsy. The problems of the management of nephrosis susceptibility to infection and water and electrolyte imbalance were found to be exaggerated by the young age of the patients. The renal pathology observed in these five infants consisted of persistence of immature glomeruli and dilatation of the tubules in the cortical area. Later, the immature glomeruli and associated tubules appear to atrophy and the remaining glomeruli to hypertrophy. Long-term adrenocorticosteroid therapy seems to be contraindicated, not only on the basis of the pathologic changes, but because it greatly exaggerates the problems of management and does not effect a remission of the disease.

Objective: The Dutch Cleft Palate Association (DCPA) registers all patients with cleft lip or palate and associated congenital anomalies in the Netherlands. The aim of this study was to assess if early registration of cleft patients leads to underreporting of associated congenital anomalies and, if so, whether reregistration is necessary. Methods: The DCPA registration of the birth cohort 1997 to 2001 was compared with the medical files of these cleft patients for prevalence, type, and moment of registration of associated congenital anomalies. To assess possible long-term underregistration, a second birth cohort of 1990 to 1991 was analyzed. Results: The percentage of cleft patients with associated congenital anomalies was 26% in the DCPA database and 33% in the retrospective medical file review. A syndrome, sequence, or association was recognized in 8% of the cleft patients by the DCPA compared with 13% in our medical file review. Of all associated congenital anomalies diagnosed during a follow-up of 12 years, 53% were diagnosed in the first year of life. The cumulative percentage was 59% after 2 years, 62% after 3 years, 80% after 6 years, and 97% after 10 years. Conclusion: Early registration of cleft patients leads to underreporting of other associated anomalies. For a complete registration of associated congenital anomalies in cleft patients, reregistration at a later age is necessary.
