TL;DR: This report describes the case of a 14-year-old girl with complete aglossia, who had dentofacial deformities that affected the mandible in particular and had severe malocclusion and agenesis of permanent mandibular incisors.
Abstract: Aglossia is a rare anomaly caused by failed embryogenesis of the lateral lingual swellings and tuberculum impar from the fourth to eighth gestational weeks. Most cases of aglossia and hypoglossia reported in the literature were associated with limb deformities, cleft palate, deafness, situs inversus, and several syndromes, such as Moebius, Pierre Robin, and Hanhart. This report describes the case of a 14-year-old girl with complete aglossia. As the tongue plays an important role in facial growth, this patient had dentofacial deformities that affected the mandible in particular. She also had severe malocclusion and agenesis of permanent mandibular incisors. Thyroid dysfunction, recently associated with aglossia, was not observed. The use of rapid prototyping models of the jaws as an aid to osteogenic distraction of the mandibular symphysis is also described.

TL;DR: A case of complete bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible associated with a cleft palate, hypoglossia, micrognathia, unilateral choanal atresia, and limb abnormalities as a feature of oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome is presented.
Abstract: Congenital fusion of the maxilla and mandible (syngnathia) is rare and can present in a wide range of severity from single mucosal bands (synechiae) to complete bony fusion (synostosis). Congenital synostosis of the mandible and maxilla is even less common than synechiae, with only 19 cases reported in the literature. Most of them have presented as an incomplete, unilateral fusion. Only three of the reported cases showed more extensive but still incomplete, intermaxillary bony fusion. We present a case of complete bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible associated with a cleft palate, hypoglossia, micrognathia, unilateral choanal atresia, and limb abnormalities as a feature of oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome. Details of operative management are presented.

TL;DR: A simple technique using a nasopharyngeal tube was used for these two cases of hypoglossia congenita with anterior maxillo-mandibular fusion, with satisfactory results.

TL;DR: A sporadic case of agnathia-otocephaly complex with associated features of maldevelopment is reported and the roles of OTX2 and PRRX1 are examined to suggest mutations in different genes or environmental causes are responsible.

TL;DR: The oral-facial anomalies associated with absence of limbs or of limb anomalies suggests a correlation between the limbs and the first visceral arch possibly within the second month of gestation.
Abstract: Most ophthalmologists are aware of the cranial nerve dysfunctions that have been associated with the facial diplegias of Mobius syndrome. However, many are not aware of the combined limb deficiencies and cranial nerve dysfunctions. Limb malformations have been associated with a spectrum of oral facial anomalies consisting of micrognathia, hypoglossia, microstomia, hypodontia, oral bands, and dysarthria. It has been suggested that the differences which exists between these entities may in fact represent a common etiology. The variability may be related to an intrauterine insult at slightly different times. The oral-facial anomalies associated with absence of limbs or of limb anomalies suggests a correlation between the limbs and the first visceral arch possibly within the second month of gestation.
