X-ray signs of facial skull congenital deformities

Arzhantsev A.P.

Congenital deformities of the maxillofacial region can be divided into 3 main types: clefts of the alveolar process of the upper jaw and palate, isolated or combined deformation of the jaws, deformation of the facial and brain skull.	Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Moscow, Russia.

Single and bilateral cleft of the alveolar process of the upper jaw and palate are accompanied by deformation of the septum and the nasal cavity, crowding of teeth, malocclusion, hypoplasia of the maxilla, a compensatory change in the length of the lower jaw. The occurrence of the most jaws deformities associated with premature cessation of operation of sphenoethmoidal and sphenooccipital synchondroses and facial sutures. The combined deformation of the jaws are characterized by a variety of radiological manifesta-tions, they are often accompanied by deformation of the other divisions of the skull. Deformation of the facial and brain skull is a complex pathology caused by a defect of formation of the facial and cranial sutures, synchondroses of the skull base. These de-formations, as a rule, are combined with changes in other parts of the skeleton and internal organs. Tasks of x-ray examinations consist not only in the diagnosis of defects of formation of the skull, but also in determination of their causes and possibilities for further development of functional disorders.
