Rhombencephalic anomalies
(i.e. brainstem and cranial nerve VII to
XII dysfunctions). consider:
facial palsy, swallowing difficulties, and sensorineural
deafness (including deafness related to abnormal
development of the organ of Corti).
Hypophyseal and/or hypothalamic
dysfunction.
which encompass GH or gonadotrophin deficiencies.
Genital anomalies
are considered only when sustained by demonstrable
central-onset endocrine disturbance.
Middle/external ear.
This item is set for anomalies of the branchial
derivatives: typical, small, simple, cup-shaped, lop
pinna, and malformations of the ossicles and windows
(leading to conductive deafness).
Inner ear
malformations are excluded here.
Malformations of the intrathoracic
viscera Mediastinal anomalies
(heart defect and esophageal atresia) are counted once.
Upper CNS
functioning.
Mental retardation is the less developmentally founded
criterion.المرجع

Characteristic CHARGE face
:Square
face with broad prominent forehead, arched eyebrows,
large eyes, occasional ptosis (droopy lids), prominent
nasal bridge with square root, thick nostrils, prominent
nasal columella (between the nostrils), flat midface,
small mouth, occasional small chin, larger chin with
age. Facial asymmetry even without facial palsy
Characteristic CHARGE
hand:Small
or unusual thumb, broad palm with 'hockey-stick' palmar
crease, short fingers
Orofacial:
Cleft palate, palate.
Congenital heart defects:Can
be any type, but aortic arch anomalies and complex heart
defects such as tetralogy of Fallot are typical
Genital (hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism):Males:
micropenis, undescended testes .Females:
hypoplastic (small) labia
.Both: lack of pubertal development
Postnatal growth deficiency:Growth
hormone andOther short stature deficiency
Hypotonia (weakness):Especially
upper body>A few with small or absent pectorals
(shoulder muscles)المرجع
