Arhinia is an extremely rare condition reported in less than 100 cases so far. We report a case of arhinia with bilateral anophthalmia. In physical examination, only alar portions of the nose were partially formed. No septal, lower, upper lateral cartilages or nasal bones were detectable. Both nostrils were atretic. The orbital area was covered with skin, and eyebrows were partially formed. Bilateral complete cleft lip and palate were evident. Surgical interventions should be considered not only for reconstruction of the external nose but for timely creation of a lacrimal passage and repair of the accompanying cleft lip and palate.

Detailed Evaluation

AbstractCleft lip and palate patients are born with a challenging deformity that requires multiple surgical interventions in order to reach functional and esthetic harmony. Mid face deficiency in cleft patients is a challenging clinical problem very often encountered in the management of this congenital defect. Cleft maxillary hypoplasia can be attributed to the inherited traits, acquired traits and Induced traits. CLP patients usually present with symptoms varying from malocclusion, retrusion of midface, and a narrow hard palate. A detailed evaluation and individualized treatment planning is of utmost importance in dealing with these patients. Treatment involves the contribution from both the orthodontist and the craniofacial team. The goals for the treatment for cleft maxillary hypoplasia are improvement of aesthetic deficits as well as correction of malocclusion.

Routine Physical Examination

A rare case of congenital supernumerary teeth, also known as hyperdontia, observed in a healthy 8-month-old female ewe is presented. The congenital defect consisted of the presence of 2 incisor teeth embedded in the lateral areas of the dental pad. The anomaly was found during a routine physical examination and no other congenital abnormalities were found in the patient. No prior congenital abnormalities had been seen in the herd and the study of possible associated teratogenic factors was inconclusive. To the authors’ knowledge, this ovine odontogenic abnormality has not been described in the literature and appears to be an extraordinarily rare condition.

<p class="abstract">The aim of this paper is to highlight the iatrogenic aspect of secondary cleft deformity, methodologies to treat them and the importance of reporting such cases. Secondary deformities are common in cleft lip and palate patients. Primary aim of treatment in cleft patients is to enhance their normal growth and development and minimize morbidity and number of operative procedures. Meticulous diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of primary surgery are of utmost importance in such cases to prevent majority of secondary deformities. Treatment of secondary deformity depends on the degree of deformity and the severity of impact on normal functions and growth. Following is a case of 16-year-old female patient who incurred secondary cleft deformities after undergoing multiple surgical interventions for congenital bilateral cleft lip alveolus and palate, last of which was conducted at the age of 6 years. Lip revision and tongue flap surgeries to close the palatal fistula were performed to address the patient’s complaint and improve quality of life. Performing a tongue flap for anterior palatal fistula was more successful than Bardach’s palatoplasty technique.<strong> </strong>It is important that each case encountered at various congenital defect care facilities is reported in literature to make the masses aware of probably outcomes and also help maintain a database to have more accurate data of such cases.</p>

Epidemiological Aspect

BACKGROUND A new-born baby having a cleft lip alone or a cleft lip with cleft palate is definitely painful to the parents. Such cases must be referred to a multi-disciplinary medical team having expertise in craniofacial defects. The role of a family doctor is significant in these cases as he / she is the one who can minimize the sufferings of the parents and their family members by ensuring antenatal diagnosis and extending support for the whole family post-diagnosis, during initial days of breastfeeding as well as bonding issues and also throughout an extended period of months and years of surgical interventions and speech therapies. These cleft lip and palate deformities are the most typical facial defects in children at birth. This leads to not only the altered appearance, defective speech, improper hearing, retarded growth of the baby but also deranged psychosocial well-being and disrupted social integration of the parents and family members. This article presents an overall epidemiological aspect of the said anomalies in the immense interest & benefit of all the concerned professionals. Patients with cleft lip or palate have significant problems in communication, and face difficulties with deglutition. The understanding of the anatomy and associated pathophysiology play a vital role in the management of these patients. The surgical correction remains the mainstay of treatment to date. This article describes common problems related to kids having cleft lip and palate anomalies and provides the latest surgical options available in such congenital cleft care. The genetic basis of the disease and recent advances in the developmental defects of this congenital abnormality is also discussed. In addition to physical corrections, psychological effects on the family need to be addressed at priority. The treating physician must consider the mental health of the parents. The current concepts of treatment will continue to evolve because of continuous developments in the fields of foetal surgery, genetic and tissue engineering.

Autonomic Disturbances

AbstractHarlequin syndrome is a condition characterized by autonomic dysfunction leading to hemifacial flushing on one side with pallor and impaired sweating on the other side. It is a rare condition that can be both congenital and acquired, with congenital cases being rarer, comprising ∼6% of all Harlequin syndrome cases. Harlequin syndrome is usually associated with other autonomic disturbances including Horner syndrome especially when presenting as a congenital condition. We reported the findings of a rare case of concomitant congenital Horner and Harlequin syndromes in an otherwise healthy 4-month-old male infant patient and provided a review of the current literature.

In rare instances, cleft lip and palate occur in association with synechia, intraoral fibrous bands connecting the maxilla and mandible. The main concern in synechia is a restricted mouth opening that leads to airway and feeding problems. This study reports our experience in the treatment of 3 cases and includes a review of the literature. Three patients with intraoral fibrous bands received treatment and follow-ups in our center. Division of the bands and reconstruction of the lip and palate were successfully performed. All reported cases in the literature were collected for a summary of clinical presentations and as references for management. Early management of the synechia improves the mouth opening and facilitates the treatment of associated anomalies.

Lower Segment Caesarean Section

Youssef’s syndrome is a rare condition characterized by vesicouterine fistula with cyclic haematuria, amenorrhoea and incontinence of urine. A vesicouterine fistula is an abnormal connection between the uterus and bladder that most commonly occur due to inadvertent injury to the bladder during lower segment caesarean section. Vesicouterine fistula leads to psychological and has the negative impact on quality of life. A high suspicion should be kept in mind if the patient presents with urinary incontinence even many years after caesarean section. However, conservative management may be appropriate in some cases, but the definitive mode of management is surgery. Hereby authors present a 22-year-old para 2 live 2 (previous 2 caesarean section) with vesicouterine fistula with the complaint of urinary incontinence, cyclical haematuria (menouria) and amenorrhoea a year after caesarean section done due to obstructed labour.
