About Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia

What is Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia?

Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by underdevelopment of the bones that form the orbital rim of the eye. It is usually associated with other syndromic features, such as craniofacial anomalies, skeletal abnormalities, and intellectual disability.

What are the symptoms of Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia?

The most common symptoms of syndromic orbital border hypoplasia include:

-Widely spaced eyes
-Underdeveloped or absent eyebrows
-Underdeveloped or absent eyelashes
-Underdeveloped or absent upper eyelids
-Underdeveloped or absent lower eyelids
-Underdeveloped or absent tear ducts
-Underdeveloped or absent lacrimal glands
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital bones
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital fat
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital muscles
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital septum
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital veins
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital nerves
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital arteries
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital ligaments
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital connective tissue
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital skin
-Underdeveloped or absent orbital fat pads
-Underdeveloped or absent

What are the causes of Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia?

Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia is a rare condition that is caused by genetic mutations. It is associated with a number of different syndromes, including Treacher Collins Syndrome, Goldenhar Syndrome, and Nager Syndrome. In some cases, the cause of the condition is unknown.

What are the treatments for Syndromic orbital border hypoplasia?

The treatments for Syndromic Orbital Border Hypoplasia vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient. Generally, treatment may include:

3. Medications to reduce inflammation and improve vision.

4. Physical therapy to improve eye movement and coordination.

5. Speech therapy to improve communication skills.

6. Occupational therapy to improve daily living skills.

7. Genetic counseling to discuss the risks and benefits of genetic testing.
