Lateral proboscis is a rare congenital anomaly. Lateral proboscis is a rare craniofacial malformation characterized by a rudimentary tubular, nose-like structure occurring in association with a wide spectrum of other anomalies. We presented a seven-month-old girl’s lateral proboscis, cleft lip, and palate. Proboscis was excised by an elliptical incision, and the cleft was repaired at the same surgery.

ABSTRACTThe results of patients operated on by Nepal Cleft Lip and Palate Association (NECLAPA) surgeons for congenital macrostomia were prospectively studied between January 2000 and December 2002. There were four males and three females with a median age of 10 years. Three had an associated branchial arch syndrome. In all patients an overlapping repair of orbicularis oris was done. Six patients had a straight line closure with excellent cosmetic results and one a Z-plasty with a more obvious scar. All had a normal appearing commissure. Overlapping orbicularis repair with straight line skin closure for this rare congenital anomaly is recommended.

Cleft lip and palate are commonly observed congenital anomaly. But congenital palatal stula is very uncommon. Only few cases have been reported in literature globally. Irrespective of the doubts in etiology and pathogenesis, due to its rarity it is important to report these rare cases in the literature as and when it comes to the notice of the clinicians. Herein,we present a case of two-year-old child presented to us with isolated congenital palatal stula. Apart from nasal regurgitation on feeding and URTI, all other things were normal. Midline, rectangular stula of 2 cm x 1.5 cm extending from incisive foramen and involving posterior edge of hard palate was seen. Patient responded well to the surgery and postoperative period was uneventful.

Orofacial clefts (OFC) are one of the most common congenital problems seen with a very high incidence. It imparts a negative effect on the overall health of the child by hindering in his feeding practices, normal facial growth, development of dentition and hence speech. Infants born with orofacial clefts have oronasal communication which creates a problem with the creation of negative pressure inside the oral cavity required for suckling.The treatment for such patients is with the multidisciplinary approach but the preliminary  concern for the neonate is to help with the feeding for which a feeding appliance is given. This case report presents a case of a 3-day old infant to whom a feeding appliance was given to aid in suckling.

Objective: To analyse the morphological presentation of orofacial clefts, gender, syndromes and systemic anomalies associated with them. Design: This was an epidemiological study performed in the patients who were registered for cleft lip and palate surgeries in our centre. The data was evaluated both retrospectively as well as prospectively. Patients/ Participants: The patients registered from November 2006 to April 2021 were studied. Out of 5276 patients, data of 5004 cases were analysed, rest 272 patients were excluded due to lack of information. Statistical analysis and Chi square test were applied. Results: Cleft deformities were more common in males than females. Cleft lip with palate was the commonest phenotype (52.2%). It was followed by isolated cleft lip (22.9%), isolated cleft palate (22.1%), rare clefts (1.62%) and syndromic clefts (1.18%). Unilateral variants were more frequent than bilateral. In unilateral, left side was more common than the right side. Among bilateral, most of the cases had premaxillary protrusion. In the present study, 3.46% of all the patients had associated anomalies affecting their other organs. Less common cleft phenotypes like microform cleft lip and submucous cleft palate ± bifid uvula showed frequency of 0.62% and 0.64% respectively. Conclusion: Thorough examination of cleft deformity should be done as it may appear as an isolated deformity or part of a syndrome and have associated systemic anomalies. This may help us to deliver comprehensive care to the patients and can prevent potential operative complications.

A fissura de lábio e ou de palato não sindrômicas são anomalias congênitas craniofaciais mais frequentes. Elas ocasionam problemas estéticos e funcionais que requerem tratamento em longo prazo, envolvendo reabilitação multidisciplinar incluindo a fonoaudiologia e fisioterapia. Este estudo propõem apresentar alguns dos princípios de atuação do fonoaudiólogo e do fisioterapeuta nas fissuras orofaciais não sindrômicas. Realizou-se uma revisão de literatura narrativa com busca na Bireme e Scielo e nas bases Lilacs, Pedro e  PubMed em outubro de 2020, envolvendo a atuação do  fonoaudiólogo e do fisioterapeuta nas fissuras orofaciais não sindrômica, no idioma inglês e português, sem recorte temporal. Os estudos encontrados observaram que a intervenção fonoaudiológica e fisioterapêutica deve ser mais precoce e de acordo com a disfunção apresentada. De modo geral, a atuação do fonoaudiólogo favorece a alimentação oral  e o desenvolvimento global referente à linguagem, a fala, audição e neuropsicomotor, para evitar atrasos e favorecer o melhor desenvolvimento infantil. A atuação fisioterapêutica visa diminuir a hospitalização prolongada, melhorar a qualidade de vida e funcionalidade, bem como assistir as crianças que cursarem com problemas motores, posturais e respiratórios. Conclui-se que a atuação fonoaudiológica nas diferentes fases da reabilitação de indivíduos com fissuras labiopalatinas contribui para alimentação e inteligibilidade da fala, beneficiando assim a comunicação verbal e consequentemente a interação com o meio social; e a assistência fisioterapêutica ajuda e melhorar a sintomatologia e as disfunções respiratórias apresentadas, prevenindo e tratando complicações de forma a melhorar a qualidade de vida e restabelecer a independência funcional.   Palavras-chave: Fissura Palatina. Fenda Labial. Aleitamento Materno. Fala. Fisioterapia.   Abstract Non-syndromic cleft lip and or palate are the most frequent congenital craniofacial anomalies. They cause aesthetic and functional problems that require long-term treatment, involving rehabilitation including speech therapy and physiotherapy. This study proposes to present some of the principles of performance of the speech therapist and physiotherapist in non-syndromic orofacial clefts. A narrative literature review was carried out with searches in Bireme and Scielo and in the Lilacs, Pedro and PubMed databases in October 2020, involving the performance of the speech therapist and physiotherapist in non-syndromic orofacial clefts, in English and Portuguese, with no time frame. The studies observed that speech therapy and physiotherapy intervention should be as earlier and in accordance with the presented dysfunction. In general, the performance of the speech therapist favors oral feeding and the global development related to language, speech, hearing and neuropsychomotor, to avoid delays and favor best child development. Physiotherapeutic action aims to reduce the prolonged hospitalization, improve quality of life and functionality, as well as assist children who are experiencing motor, postural and respiratory problems. It is concluded that the speech therapy performance in the different phases of rehabilitation of individuals with cleft lip and palate contributes to feeding and speech intelligibility, thus benefiting verbal communication and consequently the interaction with the social environment; and physiotherapeutic assistance helps and improves the symptoms and respiratory disorders presented, preventing and treating complications in order to improve the quality of life and restore functional independence.   Keywords: Cleft Palate.

Background: There is a high prevalence of orofacial clefts in low- and middle-income countries with significant unmet need, despite having 50% of the population younger than 18 years in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The purpose of this article is to report on the experience of general surgeons with orofacial clefts at a single institution. Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients treated for cleft lip/palate in the province of North Kivu, DRC between 2008 and 2017. Results: A total of 1112 procedures (122/year) were performed. All procedures were performed by general surgeons following training by an international nongovernmental aid organization. A total of 59.2% of patients were male and the median age was 3.4 years (interquartile range: 0.7-13 years). Average distance from surgical center to patient location was 242.6 km (range: 2-1375 km) with outreach performed for distances >200 kms. A majority (82.1%) of patients received general anesthesia (GA) with significant differences in use of GA, age, weight, and length of stay by major orofacial cleft category. Of the 1112 patients, 86.1% were reported to have cleft lip alone, 10.5% had cleft lip and palate, and 3.4% cleft palate alone. Despite this, only 5.3% of patients underwent surgical repair of cleft palate. Conclusions: Multiple factors including malnutrition, risk of bleeding, procedural complexity, and cosmetic results may contribute to the distribution of procedures performed where most cleft palates are not treated. Based on previously published estimates, unmet needs and social burden of cleft lip and palate are high in the DRC.

History Of

The project “Searching for new genes and loci involved in cleft lip and palate in the Polish population – genome-wide association study” is a case-control study in a group of unrelated subjects with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) and healthy individuals with no family history of clefting or other congenital disorders. The overall goal of this grant proposal is to identify novel genetic factors, which can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of orofacial clefts in the Polish population. To accomplish the proposed aim, a two stage genome-wide association study will be performed. In the first stage, Illumina's HumanOmni Express BeadChips arrays will be used to genotype over 700,000 polymorphisms in NSCL/P patients and controls. In the second stage, SNPs showing the most compelling association with the risk of orofacial clefts will be tested in an independent sample set using standard genotyping methods. This research project is expected to be completed in July 2015.
