Extractions: Treacher Collins Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by distinctive abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area due to underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of certain portions of the skull (e.g., supraorbital rims and zygomatic arches). Although the symptoms and physical characteristics associated with Treacher Collins Syndrome can vary greatly in severity from patient to patient, craniofacial abnormalities tend to involve the cheekbones, jaws, mouth, ears, and/or eyes.

The features of the syndrome are symmetrical. Hypoplasia of the malar bones and the mandible causes a hypoplastic face with sunken cheek bones. Eye abnormalities include a congenital notch in the lower eyelid margin (eyelid coloboma), and antimongoloid slanting of the palpebral fissure. The auricle is usually malformed and the external auditory meatus may be stenotic or atretic. The middle ear appears hypoplastic; the mastoid is unpneumatized. The tegmen tympani shows variable descent. Ossicular malformations are often present. The facial nerve very often follows an aberrant route through the temporal bone. The inner ear usually appears normal, although the lateral semicircular canal may be shortened and dilated. Apart from the head and neck manifestations, patients may have other abnormalities.

Extractions: Treacher Collins: A Rare Genetic Disorder Affecting Craniofacial Development. By Elizabeth Davis, Mississippi State University. One such rare inherited disorder that has been located and identified is Treacher Collins syndrome, a birth defect that is characterized by craniofacial abnormalities. Treacher Collins syndrome was first described in 1846 and was given its name in 1900 by a British ophthalmologist named Dr. Treacher Collins (What is TCS, 1999). Much attention has been drawn to this rare syndrome, offering many explanations and solutions that will help families cope with a child who has been diagnosed with Treacher Collins. Research has provided professionals and families with answers concerning the prevalence and etiology, characteristics and secondary concerns, and prevention and treatment of Treacher Collins syndrome. Treacher Collins syndrome is a low incidence disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 50,000 births in the general population (NORD, 1999). This genetic disorder is autosomal dominant, meaning the defective gene (received from either of the biological parents) will "dominate" the other normal gene, resulting in the appearance of the disease (NORD, 1999). Only one parent has to carry the dominant, defective gene related to Treacher Collins syndrome. The risk of transmitting the disease from an affected parent to a child is 50 %. This disorder appears to affect both males and females equally; however, research has been contradictory in this area. Currently, at least 400 cases of people diagnosed with Treacher Collins syndrome have been recorded in medical literature (NORD, 1999). Many people, however, have not been diagnosed because they may exhibit only few symptoms and are unaware of their disorder. Also, research findings suggest that a great percentage of those individuals that have been identified are within several large, multi-generational families (NORD, 1999). The defective gene is transmitted to each generation in the family. As the gene passes along through the family's generations, it reinforces the syndrome's hereditary tendencies.
