Congenital median upper lip fistula (MULF) is an extremely rare condition resulting from abnormal fusion of embryologic structures. We present a new case of congenital medial upper lip fistula located in the midline of the philtrum of a 6 year old girl.

To compare nasal symmetry between patients that had nasal molding and lip repair with those that had only lip repair. Design. Retrospective case-control study Patients. Complete unilateral CL+P patients had basilar and frontal photographs at two time points: (1...

We have measured total vocal-tract (VT) length, lip-tube length and glottal height during vowels on X-ray film data of short French utterances [1]. VT midpoints are determined by progressively fitting circles along the VT-length from the glottis to lip opening. The VT-length is obtained by summing up the distance between adjacent midpoints. Lip-tube length is defined as the distance between the...
