Marfan syndrome for orthodontist by almuzian
1. MARFAN SYNDROME
https://youtu.be/NSKgbFGqFDo
Genetic disorder of connective tissue.
autosomal dominant condition with a reported incidence of 1 in 3000 to 5000
individuals [1,2].
M=F
Autosomal dominant. 75% cases inherited and 25% new mutation.
mutations involving the gene (FBN1) encoding the connective tissue protein fibrillin-
1 [5-7].
Diagnosis is based on the Ghent criteria:
Ghent criteria
A panel of experts in Ghent, Belgium, put forth a set of guidelines in 1996
Named for the city in which they were proposed, the Ghent criteria delineate major
and minor diagnostic findings.
This combination of findings in different organ systems forms the mainstay of
diagnosis.
The main criteria for diagnosis consist of clinical features that are typical of the
syndrome and rarely occur in the general population. These include long limbs,
scoliosis, pectus carinatum, pectus excavatum, ectopia lentis, dilatation and/or
dissection of ascending aorta, aortic regurgitation, and dural ectasias.
Minor criteria are present in individuals with the syndrome and often are seen in the
general population. These include joint hypermobility, high palate, dolichocephaly,
retrognathia, flat cornea, mitral valve prolapse, dilatation or dissection of the thoracic
aorta, spontaneous pneumothorax, and recurrent hernias.
In the presence of a nonsignificant family history, major criteria in at least two
different organ systems and involvement of a third system are required. However, if
evidence of a genetic mutation in the family is found, then one major criterion in an
organ system and involvement of a second system are sufficient to establish a
diagnosis of Marfan syndrome.
2. Signs and Symptoms
1. Skeletal
Elongated head with cerebral bosselation.
Tall and thin person
Long arms and legs and fingers and toes.
Flexible joints and scoliosis.
Early osteoarthritis can occur
Joint, bone and muscle pains.
2. Cardiac
3. Heart and aorta with increased risk of mitral valve prolapse and aortic aneurysm.
Pectus carinatum
3. Eye
Retinal detachment in the eye and also cataracts.
4. Jaw
Sleep apnoea.
downslanting palpebral fissures
malar hypoplasia,
High palate
Retrognathia,
Big overjets,
Posterior crossbites,
AOB
Crowding.
Treatment:
no cure.
Most people have a normal life with proper treatment.
Mainly beta blockers (e.g. propanolol) or calcium channel blockers or ACE inhibitors.
Surgery may be needed on heart valves.
Must keep exercise/stress levels low e.g. play bowling/golf
4. Genetic testing: First-degree relatives of patients with a gene mutation associated with
aortic aneurysms and/or dissection (eg, FBN1, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, COL3A1,
ACTA2, MYH11) should undergo counseling and genetic testing.
Orthodontic:
Need for good oral hygiene
Need for prophylactic antibiotics prescribed before banding.
High risk of OIIRR
High risk of relapse orthodontic (fibrillin) and surgically,
High risk of condylar resorption
Need orthognathic surgery or SARPE
