Le Fort III distraction osteogenesis of midface-retrusion in a case of Hajdu Cheny syndrome.

Abstract

Le Fort III maxillary distraction osteogenesis using the RED system and advancement genioplasty was successfully performed for the midfacial retrusion and to eliminate severe snoring during sleep in a rare case of Hajdu Cheny syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by slowly progressive systemic osseous dysplasia, exhibiting craniofacial disfigurements and other skeletal deformity, but no description is found in a plastic surgical treatment up to now. A rare entity of this syndrome is also presented.
