Palate Development

This paper is concerned with that phase of palate development in rats leading to fusion of the shelves in the midline. Previous experimentation in palate development in mammals has encompassed both the earlier phase of assumption of the horizontal position of the palatal shelves, and the subsequent approximation and fusion of the shelves. Since the two processes do not occur simultaneously and can theoretically be studied separately, it was possible and feasible to confine the experiment to the later fusion phase. The present research was designed to eliminate the possible confounding effects of palate rotation in vitro on the fusion of the shelves by approximation of the explanted palatal shelves in the same horizontal plane, irrespective of their original positions in the oral cavity. Current theories of cleft palate pathogenesis hold that either the palatal shelves fail to assume (rotate to) the horizontal position, or, that having done so, they fail to fuse.

Perceptual Characteristics

Nasal fricatives (NFs) are unusual, maladaptive articulations used by children both with and without palatal anomalies to replace oral fricatives. Nasal fricatives vary in articulatory, aerodynamic, and acoustic-perceptual characteristics with two generally distinct types recognized. One type is produced with velopharyngeal (VP) constriction that results in turbulent nasal airflow and, frequently, tissue vibration (flutter) at the VP port. Trost (1981) described these as posterior NFs that have a distinctive snorting quality. A second type of NF is produced without significant VP constriction resulting in turbulent airflow generated at the anterior liminal valve of the nose. Of importance, both types are “active” alternative articulations in that the speaker occludes the oral cavity to direct all airflow through the nose (Harding & Grunwell, 1998). It is this oral gesture that differentiates NFs from obligatory (or passive) nasal air escape that may sound similar due to incomplete VP closure. The purpose of this article is to (1) describe the articulatory, aerodynamic, and acoustic-perceptual nature of NFs, and (2) propose a theoretical framework for the acquisition of NFs by children both with and without cleft palate.

Children with speech and/or resonance disorders due to structural anomalies present challenges for speech-language pathologists in all settings. The purpose of this article is to provide current, practical information regarding the evaluation and treatment of children with speech/resonance disorders secondary to cleft palate and noncleft causes of velopharyngeal dysfunction. Simple “no-tech” procedures for assessment will be described so that the reader will be able to determine which children will benefit from therapy and which will require surgical intervention. Finally, specific speech therapy techniques will be given for changing placement from the pharynx to the oral cavity, thus eliminating phoneme-specific nasal emission.

Objective: Our aim was to create a simple, inexpensive, reproducible, and life-size model of the oral cavity of a cleft palate patient. A step-by-step description of the assembly of our cleft palate simulator and its usefulness is presented. Materials: This model was made with readily available components, such as alginate impression material, impression plaster, paper template, latex examination gloves, ink pad, disposable water cup, rubber dam, rubber band, and water-based and fast-setting glue. Result: Repeated trials showed that the model can be assembled in a fast and straightforward way. The model was appropriate for simulating the structure of a cleft palate, and the Furlow double-opposing Z-plasty could be readily performed on this model. Conclusion: Our cleft palate simulator enables both the novice and keen cleft surgeons to simulate the intraoral situation of a cleft palate patient and to stimulate them to practice surgical techniques of palatal repair.

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.

A case of craniosynostosis with joint contractures, ear deformity, cleft palate, scoliosis, and many other features is presented. The patient's skull was round with craniosynostosis of the coronal suture. The fingers were slender and long; the finger joints were contracted. Trismus was also present. Contracture of the temporomandibular joint was suspected. The helices were flat, antihelices were minimal, and the ears protruded. Furthermore, the facial and cranial features of this patient included mild hypertelorism, ocular proptosis, short pons nasi, flat radix nasi, mild retrognathia, and small oral fissure. In the oral cavity, a relatively wide cleft extended from the soft palate to the uvula. A frontal chest radiograph revealed a mild scoliosis. Differential diagnoses are discussed in reported syndromes with craniosynostosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative use of an orthopedic plate (OP) on postoperative articulatory function in children with cleft lip and palate. Subjects The subjects had complete unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate and were scheduled for a one-stage palatoplasty. Main Outcome Measures Tongue movements during sucking were analyzed by ultrasonography. Postoperative articulatory behavior was also assessed at 5 years 4 months of age. Results There was an excessive downward excursion of the rear portion of the tongue during sucking regardless of the use or nonuse of the OP. This indicated that infants with cleft palate could not create negative pressure in the oral cavity, even with the OP. However, the OP appeared effective for preventing irregular movements of the tongue during sucking. The proportion of subjects obtaining excellent articulation was significantly higher in the group using the OP until palatoplasty than in the group who did not continue using the OP. The proportion of subjects with disturbed articulatory function in the latter group was comparable with that in the control group, who never used the OP. Conclusions Continuous use of the OP up to the time of palatoplasty appeared to be effective for the postoperative articulatory function in children with complete cleft lip and palate. Inhibiting irregular movements of the tongue, the OP might assist in preventing “palatalized articulation.”

The facial artery musculomucosal flap (FAMM flap) is a convenient option for covering complicated palatal defects, as it is a local flap inside the oral cavity with good tissue quality and minimal drawbacks. The present prospective study included 17 patients, 7 males and 10 females. Most of the patients had palatal fistulae, after cleft palate surgical repair; only one had a post-traumatic palatal defect. Superiorly based FAMM flaps were used for eight patients, and inferiorly based FAMM flaps were used for nine patients. A speech specialist assessed all patients, postoperatively. The range of follow-up time was from two to four years. In the majority of cases, reconstruction was successful and uneventful. Patients were satisfied regarding oral function. Complications were minor, which include incomplete coverage, bulkiness, temporary hardness and dimpling. The FAMM flap is a very useful, versatile, and technically easy flap for covering difficult palatal defects.
