Lateral palatal synechiae are rare congenital adhesions running from the free borders of the cleft palate to the lateral parts of the tongue or the oral cavity floor, typically found in cleft palate lateral synechiae syndrome. We present a case of congenital lateral palatal synechia associated with a cleft palate that we treated and followed up for 10 years. We present the long-term prognosis. We also discuss variations in intraoral synechiae associated with cleft palate and the etiology of lateral palatal synechiae through a literature review.

Proton beam therapy (PBT) is an advanced type of radiotherapy that shows a dosimetric advantage over photon beam therapy and provides superior dose distribution. PBT may improve patient survival by improving the local disease control while reducing toxicity to normal organs, which may result in fewer treatment related complications. During the last decade technological progress opened up new possibilities in the planning and conducting PBT, so indications were gradually expanded to different cancers. However, many biological aspects of PBT are still unclear, and its role in clinical settings is controversial. Proton therapy is considered to be safe and effective for different types of pediatric cancers, and that it is suitable in treatment of ocular melanomas, chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Future research and more prospective clinical studies with long term follow up are required in order to clearly determine the benefits and proper indications for PBT.
