HPO HP:0002691 Platybasia "A developmental malformation of the occipital bone and upper end of the cervical spine, in which the latter appears to have pushed the floor of the occipital bone upward such that there is an abnormal flattening of the skull base." [HPO:probinson] Platybasia is malformation of the base of the skull due to softening of skull bones or a developmental anomaly, with bulging upwards of the floor of the posterior cranial fossa, upward displacement of the upper cervical vertebrae, and bony impingement on the brainstem. It results in abnormal obtuseness of the basal angle that can be demonstrated radiographically. If platybasia is associated with basilar invagination, compression of the brainstem and upper cervical cord can result. Basal Angle formed by: line joining the nasion with the centre of the pituitary fossa line joining the anterior border of the foramen magnum with the centre of the pituitary fossa normal: 125 degrees-143 degrees platybasia: > 143 degrees basilar kyphosis: < 125 degrees. {xref="ORCID:0000-0001-5889-4463"} HP:0002648

HPO HP:0002693 Abnormality of the skull base "An abnormality of the base of the skull, which forms the floor of the cranial cavity and separates the brain from other facial structures. The skull base is made up of five bones: the ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital, paired frontal, and paired parietal bones, and is subdivided into 3 regions: the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae. The petro-occipital fissure subdivides the middle cranial fossa into 1 central component and 2 lateral components." [HPO:curators] HP:0000929

HPO HP:0002696 Abnormal parietal bone morphology "Any abnormality of the parietal bone of the skull." [HPO:curators] HP:0002648
HPO HP:0002697 Parietal foramina "The presence of symmetrical and circular openings (foramina) in the parietal bone ranging in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters wide." [HPO:probinson] Enlarged parietal foramina is an inherited condition of impaired skull development. It is characterized by enlarged openings (foramina) in the two bones (parietal bones) that form the top and sides of the skull. This condition is due to problems with bone formation (ossification) within the parietal bones. The openings are symmetrical and circular in shape, with variable size ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters wide. Parietal foramina are a normal feature of fetal development, but they usually close by the fifth month of pregnancy. HP:0002696
HPO HP:0002699 Abnormal foramen magnum morphology "Any abnormality of the foramen magnum." [HPO:probinson] The foramen magnum is the aperture through which the medulla oblongata enters and exits the skull. HP:0000929

HPO HP:0002703 Abnormality of skull ossification "An abnormality of the process of ossification of the skull." [HPO:probinson] The bones of the skull derive directly from mesenchyme cells by intramembranous ossification. HP:0000929

HPO HP:0002708 Prominent median palatal raphe "Unusual prominence of the median palatal raphe, which is the ridge formed by the fusion of the two plates of the skull that form the hard palate." [HPO:curators] HP:0000174
HPO HP:0002710 Commissural lip pit "A depression located at an oral commissure." [HPO:sdoelken, PMID:19125428] Commissural lip pits have no relationship to other forms of lip pits which may be located on the vermilion of the upper or lower lip, usually paramedian. Rather, commissural pits are located at the corners of the oral aperture. HP:0100267

HPO HP:0002714 Downturned corners of mouth "A morphological abnormality of the mouth in which the angle of the mouth is downturned. The oral commissures are positioned inferior to the midline labial fissure." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125428] This finding should be assessed with the mouth closed, the lips in relaxed contact, and the face relaxed. The finding may be difficult to assess if the lower lip is enlarged. Previous terms for downturned corners of mouth included Carp mouth andFish mouth which are no longer recommended (pejorative terms). HP:0011338
HPO HP:0002715 Abnormality of the immune system "An abnormality of the immune system." [HPO:probinson] The immune system is composed of organs and interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from infections and from the growth of tumor cells. The organs of the immune system comprise the bone marrow, the spleen, the thymus,the lymph nodes, and the cell types comprise B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, granulocytes,dendritic cells, and macrophages.
