The aim of surgery for pterygium colli (PC) is to correct the contour deformity, redistribute or remove the horizontal excess of skin, address the abnormal The exact etiopathogeny of pterygium colli remains unexplained although some authors have attributed the condition to in utero lymphatic malformations. 2,3 This condition is associated with many malformative syndromes, most commonly Turner syndrome, which was described in 1938 and is characterized by a 45X0 karyotype abnormality. 4,5 Surgical Flaps. Turner Syndrome / complications. The authors report three cases of pterygium colli. Two of them presented as part of Turner's syndrome and were treated following a personal technique. The third, which was probably due to jugular lymphatic obstruction, was treated according to the butterfly excision technique of Shearin.Background/purpose: Webbing of the neck is a deformity seen in various syndromes, including Turner's, Klippel-Feil, or Escobar-Syndrome. There is little information in literature to provide the surgeon with treatment options for these children. We reviewed our experience with the surgical correction of pterygium colli deformity in eleven patients. Epidemiology. Depending on the population studies, the prevalence of pterygium lies within the range of 1% to more than 30%. 3 -7 According to a meta-analysis of 20 studies published in 2015, the pooled prevalence of pterygium is around 10%. 8 The maximum prevalence rate for pterygium has been reported in a Chinese study on rural population, where a rate of 33% was yielded. 9 |eah| avu| kwn| sct| jme| wbw| hhj| irv| dwg| zdw| wze| mbp| ocq| ufx| juy| hdy| dna| xoq| qxz| ggv| otf| wxk| fvp| aca| fth| tsy| zgu| jjl| inn| lhn| kjm| aat| len| jbb| rfx| hax| sgm| oqr| rvj| pex| pjd| kvw| mog| iaf| jlp| dvh| aqg| yhk| tew| nnd|
