Objectives: To examine the Craniofacial morphologic features of children with celiac disease and to investigate the presence of specific features in this disease. Methods: Totally 100 celiac patients between the ages of 3 and 17 years who were diagnosed with celiac disease by biopsy and 100 healthy age-and sex-matched children were included in the study. Photographs of the children were taken using a SLR digital camera by one and the same person at a natural head position. The parameters specified on the photograph were measured with ImageJ 1. 50b software. Twenty eight landmarks were identified on the photos. Using these landmarks, 41 distances and 5 angles were measured. Thirty eight anthropometric ratios were calculated. Results: Twenty seven distances, 1 angle and 9 ratios were determined shorter; 3 distances, 2 angles and 7 ratios were determined larger in patients with celiac disease compared with the healthy individuals. These differences were statistically significant. Conclusions: There were significant alterations in some Craniofacial morphometric parameters in children with celiac disease when compared with healthy controls. However, since the data is limited, a clear conclusion could not be achieved about a morphological feature directly associated with celiac disease in children. Further prospective studies with longer follow-up periods are warranted to determine the effects of celiac disease on Craniofacial morphological measurements.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an osseous growth disorder, producing immature bone and characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. It is a bone dysplasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the Craniofacial skeleton. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia that can affect the bones of the Craniofacial complex. In this article, we report a case of Craniofacial FD which caused hemifacial swelling and orbital asymmetry with no significant neurological symptoms including visual disturbances.

Introduction: Anthropometric measurements are useful in the surgery and diagnosis of congenital diseases. Also, these measurements could promote clinical efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the anthropometric measurements of the right and left auricles and determine the dominant type among both sexes of the Iranian population. Methods: The study included 400 people (200 males and 200 females) aged 20-30 years, in Bandar Abbas City (south of Iran). We measured nine anthropometric parameters on both sides, in this population. Results: In males, the mean values of the length of the auricle, the width of the auricle, the length of the concha, the width of the concha, cephalo-auricular angle, ear-skull distance, tragus-alar distance, nasal length, and the most common lobule shape were 59. 86 mm, 30. 71 mm, 24. 32 mm, 17. 83 mm, 57. 63˚, , 8. 71 mm, 101. 72 mm, 50. 31 mm, and round lobule, respectively, while in females were 60. 12 mm, 31. 36 mm, 25. 32 mm, 17. 73 mm, 55. 68˚, , 8. 40 mm, 101. 36 mm, 40. 76 mm, and round lobule, respectively. Also, we measured eight anthropometric parameters on both sides. The lop ear deformity rates in males and females were 10. 5% and 7. 8%, respectively. Conclusion: The shape and dimensions of auricle considerably differ between diverse populations because of ethnicity, race, gender, age, and the use of different measurement methods. Also, the present result showed that the auricle dimension of males was less than that of females, but it was more symmetric in male subjects.

Although Craniofacial clefts (CFC) are rare congenital malformations, their numerous anatomic variety and relatively difficult and longstanding management gives specific importance to them.Proboscis is a rare anomaly in which half of the nose is separated from the face and is connected to the medial canthal area as a tubular structure. A 3 months old infant with left – sided proboscis and left lower eyelid coloboma is presented.The proboscis was managed with local flaps and coloboma was repaired at 10 months of age.

Objective: The face is involved in many syndromes of dysmorphogenesis. The soft tissue facial landmarks are known to be influenced by age, race and sex and it is imperative to identify a balance between them before reconstructive surgery. Further, with knowledge of standard facial traits, an individualized norm can be established to optimize facial attractiveness. Material & Methods: Measurements were made on 60 infants (30 males and 30 females) aged between 1-4 months and 60 newborns (30 males and 30 females) with a view to establish the criterion of facial anthropometry for this age group in North Indians. A special emphasis was given in this study to sexual dimorphism. Findings: The mean value and range for all the parameters was determined for the North Indian population. A statistically significant sexual dimorphism was noted to exist in ear length (P<0.01) and length of the philtrum (P<0.05). Philtral-commissural ratio was determined for North Indians, philtrum width=oral width/3.2.Conclusion: The local values derived from well defined populations should be used as reference in the evaluation of a case with dimorphic features. This study demonstrates the existence of a partial positive correlation between philtral width and oral width, i.e. when one increases the other also increases and vice versa. The Philtral–commissural relationship is expected to assist in planning philtral construction in cleft lip patients.

It is important to know Craniofacial anatomy in infancy for early detection of Craniofacial anomalies, to help the surgeon's decision, for repair and increase the patients, quality of life .In this regard, imaging has the major role in preoperative diagnostic mapping and post operative follow up repair. We are going to show the normal Craniofacial anatomy appearances in infancy in order to detect early Craniofacial anomaly and syndromatic craniosynostosis with plain skull X-ray and CT scan reconstruction imaging.

Circular saws and angle grinders are two of the most dangerous pieces of electrical equipment on a worksite. Besides the danger that any high‑ powered, sharp piece of equipment possesses, these pieces use circular saw blades that can splinter into projectile fragments. A 60‑ year‑ old male was cutting a steel pipe with a circular saw when a fragment of the 12‑ inch blade flew off, impaling him in the upper face just to the right of the midline. He was wearing eyeglasses, the bridge of which was driven into his skull on impact of the fragment. He was brought to the trauma center where he underwent imaging of his face and head. This revealed that the blade and his glasses had penetrated 1. 2 cm into the right frontal lobe of the brain, resulting in facial fractures and intraparenchymal hemorrhage. He underwent bifrontal craniotomy, removal of the blade and his glasses, evacuation of hematoma, and dural reconstruction. Postoperatively, he was awake with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 15 and no neurologic deficits. The complex nature of Craniofacial injuries makes a multidisciplinary approach to these patients essential. Prompt diagnosis and treatment by the appropriate specialists are vital to optimize patient outcomes.
