metopic syndroms?

[kenleysmom]

I am new to this whole thing and have some questions I hope someone can answer for me... are there syndroms associated with metopic ridge?

[charliesmummy]

Im not sure but not that im aware of. Charlie was Metopic but no syndrome x

I am not sure about Metopic Ridge. Metopic Cranio on the other hand? Think these are a few...
*Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
*C syndrome
*Trigonocephaly syndrome (maybe the same as "C" syndrome?)

Not sure what else...

OOh good question, i've never heard of any of those do you know any more about them Jessica?

Gosh...my computer just froze and deleted my previous response. Basically it said, ran across the info while researching, single suture syndromes seem rare, metopic syndromes seem to have more serious health isssues other than the cranio, but I am no doc and could just be a very misinformed mom! ; )

I never did check to see if this has already been discussed in this section, I will go look...maybe some more good info if a thread has already been started about metopics...

Yes there are. My son has metopic cranio with mild trigonocephaly. He has 9p24-syndrome or also called Alfi's syndrome. It is a deletion on the short arm of the 9th chromosome. It is very rare. The metopic ridge is one of the symptoms of this syndrome. I think I have read that there are other syndromes associated with the metopic ridge but I do not remember what they are.

Each of my children have at least a metopic ridge and an enlarged aortic root (heart defect) as well as various other things. When we saw the geneticist they were concerned about a syndrome called Loeys-Dietz Syndrome. So I'm assuming that metopic is associated with that syndrome.

My son has Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome. He has metopic with trig. His condition is rare and he was born with extra digits on both his hands and feet. Hope this helps!

I am wondering about this as well since Azi had 2 other midline birth defects.
