1. Anatomy translation exercise
Directions: Translate the following paragraph into lay terms. Imagine you have read the paragraph and then had to explain it to a friend or relative, who has never taken anatomy. Be as precise as possible but only use terms the average person would understand.
A full-term infant was referred to our department for clinical assessment. We diagnosed him with otopalatodigital syndrome type 2, a congenital disorder characterized by auditory impairment, cleft maxilla and palatine bones, increased lateral distance between the orbital sockets, reduced mandible, posteriorly rotated external ears, reduced oral aperture, enlarged frontal bone, and other skeletal abnormalities. The infant presented with the characteristic facial dysmorphic features and additional features. Anteroposterior radiographs of the carpal-digital region showed flexion of the interphalangeal joints and short, broad metacarpals and phalanges. Lateral cranial radiograph confirmed the enlarged frontal bone and reduced mandible. Radiographs of the lower limbs showed severe distortion of the acetabulum and femoral head as well as a bilateral bowing of the femur and tibia.
Explanation / Answer
We had seen a full time child born with cheek & chin development problems. It has a very large forehead, narrow mouth or chin, far off eyes, ears rotated backwards, hearing & other problems. Child is having bone problems as well. X ray showed problems with hand flexion due to broad base. Head x ray showed big forehead bone & small mouth/chin. X ray of legs / thighs are showing some abnormality with leg/thigh bones where both legs have attached bones bowing to each other.
