Treacher-Collins–Franceschetti syndrome or Mandibulofacial dysostosi


Its a case of Treacher-Collins syndrome (TCS), also known as Treacher-Collins–Franceschetti syndrome, or mandibulofacial dysostosis is a rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial deformi...ties.
There is a set of typical symptoms within Treacher Collins Syndrome. Those symptoms can be detected by a critical clinical view. The wide spectrum of diseases which have similar characteristics make it sometimes difficult to diagnose TCS.
The OMENS classification was developed as a comprehensive and stage-based approach to differentiate the diseases. This acronym describes five distinct dysmorphic manifestations, namely
O; orbital asymmetry,
M; mandibular hypoplasia,
E; auricular deformity,
N; nerve development and
S; soft-tissue disease
