A hereditary disorder occurring in two forms : the complete form(Franceschetti's syndrome) is characterized by antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures, coloboma of the lower lid, micrognathia and hypoplasia of the zygomatic arches, and microtia. It is transmitted as an auto-somal dominant trait. The incomplete form(Treacher Collins syndrome) is characterized by the same anomalies in less pronounced degree. It occurs sporadically, but an autosomal dominant mode of transmission is suspected. 2, record 4, English, - mandibulofacial%20dysostosis

La bouche est trop grande et des fissures borgnes s'ouvrent entre les commissures et les oreilles. Les dents sont mal plantées, une division palatine est fréquente. La micrognathie est constante et importante. Le pavillon de l'oreille est malformé, hypoplasique avec une atrésie du canal auditif, des appendices et fistules pré-auriculaires. Ces anomalies s'accompagnent d'altérations des osselets responsables d'une surdité de conduction.
