Primary surgery of cleft lip and palate has dramatically improved with technical and material advances. Some adults who previously underwent surgery still have upper lip deformities or extensive scar, and they are occasionally seen for secondary treatment. We reported a case of unilateral cleft lip patient who had extensive scar involving the central 1/4 of the upper lip, with gross lip and nas...

Background Diprosopus dirrhinus, or nasal duplication, is a rare entity of partial craniofacial duplication. Methods The case we present is the first report of diprosopus dirrhinus associated with complete cleft lip and palate. The baby was born in Cambodia at full term by normal vaginal delivery with no significant perinatal and family history. Physical examination revealed significant facia...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cleft lip and palate are usually associated with craniofacial defects and nose deformities that alter the facial aesthetic configuration. After initial surgical treatment, further surgery (both nasal and maxillary) is often required to reduce the physical impact in these patients. These techniques should be delayed until the development of the facial skeleton is comp...

INTRODUCTION Labial and nasal deformities have always been a fundamental problem in the treatment of cleft lip, alveolus and palate patients. The primary surgical treatment of nasolabial area is of paramount importance in order to obtain both an esthetical correction of the deformity and a progressive and a balanced development of mid-face. In this study the nasal deformities in patients with c...

BACKGROUND Financial, clinical, and psychological considerations have made same-day surgery an attractive option for a variety of procedures. This article aimed to analyse the postoperative results of same-day primary unilateral cleft nasolabial repair. METHODS This study was performed from 2011 to 2014. Unilateral cleft lip patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were preoperatively class...

Rhinoplasty in the cleft lip nose is complicated because of the many features that go to make up a typical cleft deformity. The main problems that need to be considered are as follows: 1. The tip is deflected away from the cleft side. 2. The alar dome on the cleft side is depressed. 3. The ala is flat and buckled. 4. There is an absent alar/facial groove. 5. The nostrils are wide on the cleft s...

PURPOSE To evaluate long-term results in the bilateral cleft lip repair by Mulliken's method, using anthropometric measurements, we assessed the growth of the nose and upper lip after the operation by comparing with those from 30 children without bilateral cleft lip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four patients had their bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity repaired simultaneously by Mulliken...
