We present a unique and challenging case of a remnant foreign body that presented to us in a child disguised as a strongly suspected congenital branchial cleft anomaly. This case entailed oropharyngeal trauma, with a delayed presentation as a retroauricular cyst accompanied by otorrhea that mimicked the classic presentation of an infected first branchial cleft anomaly. During surgical excision ...

median cleft is the midline cleft of the lip. it develops due to incomplete or failed fusion of the median nasal prominence. it can present with minimal deformities such as involvement of the vermilion border, or complex clefting of the midline structures and brain. median clefts are broadly classified as true and false clefts. this case report describes a rare case of median cleft of the upper...

Treatment philosophies in the management of alveolar clefts have changed greatly over the years. Currently. the most widely accepted protocol is for repair using autologous cancellous bone from the iliac crest during the stage of mixed dentition. Preliminary data suggest that the appropriate age for surgical repair during the secondary phase can be decreased without evidence of limitation of fa...

Cardiovascular disease is often related to defects of subcellular components in cardiac myocytes, specifically the dyadic cleft, which include changes cleft geometry and channel placement. Modeling these pathological requires both spatially resolved as well whole cell level descriptions. We use a multiscale model create structure-function relationships explore impact molecular on electrophysiol...

To investigate whether the craniofacial sagittal jaw relationship in patients with non-syndromic cleft differed from non-cleft (NC) individuals by artificial intelligence (A.I.)-driven lateral cephalometric (Late. Ceph.) analysis. The study group comprised 123 subjects different types of clefts including 29 = BCLP (bilateral lip and palate), 41 UCLP (unilateral 9 UCLA alveolus), 13 UCL lip) NC ...
