Some external deformities include: a cleft lip or palate, clenched hands (with outer fingers on top of inner fingers), close-set eyes (or possibly one fused eye), decreased muscle tone, polydactyly (extra fingers or toes)(see figure 2), single palm crease (see figure 3), coloboma (having a hole, split, or cleft in the iris of the eye)(see figure 4), low-set ears, scalp defects such as missing skin, limb abnormalities, small

Hydrocephaly-MASA Spectrum is the most common XLID syndrome with a structural malformation of the central nervous system. Isolation of mutations in L1CAM has allowed inclusion of four entities that were previously thought to be separate entities in the spectrum; these include X-linked hydrocephaly, MASA syndrome, XLID-clasp thumb and complicated spastic paraplegia (Stevenson RE., 2013). Hypotonia is usually present initially and replaced by spasticity in the late childhood. Interestingly, the degree

occurs at neuronal connection points – the synapses. These consist of the axon terminals belonging to the “sender” cell (presynaptic neuron) and the dendritic spine heads of the “receiver” cell (postsynaptic neuron). Between them lies the synaptic cleft. At the chemical synapse, the electrical signal (AP) is converted into a chemical signal, in order to cross this synaptic divide. The extracellular fluid therein poses a physical obstacle for the AP – that is, unless it manages to temporarily morph

spina bifida are; spina bifida myelomeningocele, the most serious form of the birth defect and not only membrane protrude from the vertebral cleft but the spinal cord also pushes through the hole. spina bifida meningocele is the rarest form of this neural defect, it characterized by a protrusion of the protective coating around the spinal cord through the cleft or the hole in the vertebrae, surgeon can repair and remove this cyst although there may still have some damage to the spinal

The patient may have limited opening of the mouth, a small lower jaw, malocclusion, steep downward angle of the upper and lower jaws, cleft palate or a high vaulted palate (Renju, Renju, Varma, Kumar, & Kumaran, 2014). The maxilla may also be hypoplastic, according to Johnson et al. (2011), but it may be seen as overprojecting. Cleft palates are also a common feature of this syndrome. In some of the more severe cases, the insufficient formation of the facial bones could potentially

syndrome meant a large left facial cleft, extreme cleft palate, the absence of his left ear, an underdeveloped left eye and 2 hemi-vertebrae located in the middle of his spine and at the top of his spine causing congenital scoliosis. Jeremy was immediately admitted to the NICU and stayed there for almost 6 weeks. In February of 2000 Jeremy underwent one of many facial surgerys at the young age of 5 months old. At 18 months old Jeremy had surgery to fix his cleft palate, because of some complications

under an authoritarian rule. Silvia Plath’s line: “Every woman adores a Fascist” (48), is an extremely sarcastic remark used to mock the idea of man being able to control and dominate a woman’s life. In her poem “Daddy,” Sylvia Plath states: “A cleft in your chin instead of your foot but no less a devil for that” (53-54).

The human oral cavity is prone to many lesions that can occur due to, diseases, injury, age or genetics. Five lesions that occurred in the human mouth are: hairy leukoplakia, lingual varicosities, traumatic ulceration, bifid tongue, and macroglossia. Some of these lesions can be benign or malignant depending on its etiology, and how treatable the lesion is once it has been spotted at the mouth. The first lesion is the hairy leukoplakia. Its name comes from its white/gray hair like patch texture

Thisbe there was a brick wall that separated them but it had a cleft in it. The text states, “...In all these years, no one had seen that cleft, but lover will discover everything you were the first to find it and you made that cleft a passageway which speech could take” (Ovid 17-22). This evidence illustrates how no one has found this cleft in the wall, but lovers will look for anything to be able to talk to each other. So this cleft in the wall allows them to be able to talk to each other. This
