Popis: | Treacher-Collins syndrome is a rare, inherited malformation of the first and second brancheal arches and Down syndrome or trisomy 21 is the most common human chromosomal alteration. This study describes the co-occurrence of these two syndromes, and is the second report so far ever to do so in the literature. It also shows that early diagnosis and proper treatment of craniofacial malformations are essential to prevent amblyopia and to improve quality of life. |
