This volume offers a detailed study of the developmental aspects of craniofacial dysmorphology, covering various clinical and basic aspects of the craniofacial structure in connective tissue disorders. Specific topics covered include: molecular basis among hereditary dentinal defects; prospective management of cervicomedullary compression in achondroplasia; mast cells in bone remodeling; terminology of craniofacial anomalies. Detailed discussions also offer clinically-relevant information on the craniofacial manifestations of such syndromes as Ehlers-Danlos, Cutis Laxa, Cutis Luxa-like and Marfan.
