Conditions

Congenital mandibular hypoplasia

Interventions

This will be an invasive observational study in which patients in both study population 1a and control population 1a / 2 will undergo a number of exams and tests to address objectives 1a / 1b / 2a / 2
2. Endoscopy (to assess the type and severity of airway obstruction, in the first year)
3. Lateral skull X-ray (to assess the skull morphometrics, when the child is > 6 year on an annual basis)
4. Ultrasonography (to assess mandibular growth, annually)
5. Jaw-index (to assess mandibular growth, annually)
6. OSA-18/OSA-12 (to assess presence of OSA and QOL, annually). For the reliabity and validity study of ultrasonography all children in study population 2 (who undergo a 3D-CT scan as part of regular
