Bilateral Cleft Lip

Nasal deformity is associated with congenital cleft lip and palate. Primary rhinoplasty for reconstruction of the nasal deformity at the time of bilateral cleft lip repair is a controversial issue in cleft care due to traditional teaching concerning the potential impairment of nasal growth. This study assessed long-term nasal growth in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent primary rhinoplasty by a single surgeon between 1995 and 2002 and reached skeletal maturity (n = 39; mean: 19 ± 2 years). Normal age-, gender-, and ethnicity-matched subjects (n = 52) were enrolled for comparative analyses. Three-dimensional nasal photogrammetric measurements (10 linear, 4 angular, 6 proportional, 1 surface area, and 1 volume parameter) were collected from patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate and normal subjects. Patients who underwent rhinoplasty presented with significantly (all p < 0.05) smaller nasal tip projection and nasal tip angles, but greater values for nasal dorsum length, nasal protrusion, alar width, columellar height, dome height, columellar angle, labiocolumellar angle, nasal tip height ratio, nasal index, alar width/intercanthal distance ratio, and alar width/mouth width ratio compared to normal subjects. There were no differences (all p > 0.05) in nasal height, tip/midline deviation, nasal dorsum angle, dome-to-columella ratio, columella height/alar width ratio, area surface, and volume parameters between the two groups. This study shows that primary rhinoplasty performed in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate during infancy does not result in deficiency of the nasal dimensions relative to controls.

Nasoalveolar Molding

A short columella and a flattened nasal tip are the characteristic stigmata of patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the nasal shape of young adults with BCLP treated with primary surgical columella lengthening and nasoalveolar molding (NAM). Setting and Patients: A group of 28 young adult patients with BCLP (mean age: 19.1±1.4 years) was compared through normalized photogrammetry to a control of 28 age- and sex-matched noncleft young adults. Results: Nasal protrusion and length of the columella were not different from noncleft young adults. On the other hand, nasolabial angle, columellar width, interalar, and nasal tip width were significantly wider than the noncleft controls. Thus, 27% of the patients have requested at this time secondary correction of the excessive nasal width. Conclusions: Both NAM and primary rhinoplasty in patients with BCLP resulted in a near normal length of the columella and nasal projection until young adulthood. Nevertheless, width of all nasal features was significantly wider than the noncleft population and required secondary nasal correction in one-third of the sample.

Objective To align the protruding premaxilla in infants with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), an intraoral appliance (i.e., Hotz plate) and an extraoral appliance consisting of a band covering the head and elastics are used as a presurgical orthopedic treatment in our clinic. The aim of this study was to analyze the configuration and position of the premaxilla and the vomer in infants with BCLP and to investigate the factors generating deviation and bending of the vomer and twisting of the premaxilla. Patients Palatal casts were obtained serially from 10 infants with complete BCLP from 1 to 3 months of age. Measurements These casts were automatically measured using a highly accurate contact-type measuring apparatus. After three-dimensional wire frame models generated from the serial casts were automatically superimposed, the magnitude and direction of the shift were calculated. A discriminant analysis was used for investigation of predictor variables generating the twisting or bending vomer. Results and Conclusions The vomer was found to be bent in two infants and the premaxilla was twisted in three infants. In the infants whose vomers were bent, the magnitude of the posterior shift of the premaxilla was greater than that of the inferior shift. A discriminant analysis indicated that at 1 month of age, a greater inclination and a smaller deviation of the vomer and a longer distance between the cleft edges of the lateral segments had a tendency to be associated with bending of the vomer or twisting of the premaxilla.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlations between the craniofacial morphology and pharyngeal airway volume in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary hospital. Participants: Twenty-seven patients with complete BCLP and 27 class I control patients, aged 10 to 14 years. Main Outcome Measure: The pharyngeal airway volume and craniofacial morphology were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography. Measurements were compared between groups and any correlations were identified. Results: A significantly smaller total pharyngeal airway volume (TPV), oropharyngeal airway volume, and upper (UOPV) and lower (LOPV) oropharyngeal airway volume were found in patients with BCLP than in class I control patients, with no difference in the nasopharyngeal volume between groups. Furthermore, the craniofacial morphology measurements of N-Me, S-Go, Or-C, Ptm-C, Me-C, Co-Go, Go-Me, Ptm-Or, N-S-Ar, and Ar-Go-Me significantly differed between the BCLP and control groups (all P < .05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that Ptm-C and Me-C; Ptm-C, Or-C, and Me-C; and Me-C explained 20.3%, 38.9%, and 17.1% of the variations in TPV ( P = .025), UOPV ( P = .002), and LOPV ( P = .018), respectively. Conclusions: Total pharyngeal airway volume, TPV, OPV, UOPV, and LOPV were significantly smaller in patients with BCLP than in class I controls. In patients with BCLP, the maxilla showed inhibited sagittal development and a retrograde position; moreover, the pharyngeal airway volume was weakly associated with the position of the maxilla and mandible relative to the coronal plane.

Latar belakang: Celah bibir dengan atau tanpa celah lelangit merupakan abnormalitas perkembangan kraniofasial yang paling sering terjadi. Kelainan ini bisa unilateral atau bilateral, dan mungkin disertai dengan anomali kongenital lain. Celah bibir bilateral berpotensi mengubah struktur dan bentuk wajah serta menyebabkan gangguan dalam perkembangan makan, bicara, gigi geligi, dan kosmetik. Celah bibir selalu disertai dengan deformitas hidung, termasuk pada kasus celah bibir inkomplit. Mulliken adalah pionir yang melakukan perbaikan celah bibir bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dalam satu tahap operasi. Tujuan: Mengetahui keberhasilan operasi celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan satu kasus celah bibir inkomplit bilateral pada anak laki-laki usia 7 bulan yang ditatalaksana dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken. Metode: Telaah literatur berbasis bukti mengenai perbaikan celah bibir inkomplit bilateral dan rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken melalui database Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, dan hand searching. Hasil: Pertumbuhan nasal tip projection, nasal width, columellar length, upper lip height, cutaneous lip height, dan vermilion-mucosal height mendekati nilai normal. Kesimpulan: Prosedur celah bibir inkomplit bilateral disertai rinoplasti primer dengan teknik modifikasi Mulliken memberikan hasil yang baik. Introduction: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is the most common disorder of craniofacial development. This disorder could be occurred unilaterally or bilaterally, and sometimes were also accompanied by other type of congenital disorders. Bilateral cleft lip potentially could change the face structure and shape, causing interference in eating, speech, dental development, and aesthetics. Cleft lip always occurred with nasal deformity, even in incomplete cleft lip. Mulliken is a pioneer in performing a repair in bilateral cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty altogether at the same time. Purpose: To find out the result of surgery procedure in bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty using Mulliken modification technique. Case report: A bilateral incomplete cleft lip case in a 7 months old boy and managed by Mulliken modification technique. Method: Evidence based literature study of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty with Mulliken modification technique through Cochrane library, Pubmed Medline, and hand searching. Result: The growth of nasal tip projection, nasal width, collumellar length, upper lip height, cutaneus lip height, and vermilion mucous height were close to normal size. Conclusion: Procedure of bilateral incomplete cleft lip and primary rhinoplasty repair using Mulliken modification technique delivered a good outcome.

Objective: To quantify 3-dimensional (3D) nasal changes in infants with unilateral cleft lip with or without cleft palate (UCL±P) treated by nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and cheilorhinoplasty and compare to noncleft controls. Design: Retrospective case series of infants treated with NAM and primary cheilorhinoplasty between September, 2012 and July, 2016. Infants were included if they had digital stereophotogrammetric records at initial presentation (T1), completion of NAM (T2), and following primary cheilorhinoplasty (T3). Images were oriented in 3dMD Vultus software, and 16 nasolabial points identified. Patients: Twenty consecutively treated infants with UCL±P. Interventions: Nasoalveolar molding and primary cheilorhinoplasty. Main Outcome Measures: Anthropometric measures of nasal symmetry and morphology were compared in the treatment group between time points using paired Student t tests. Postsurgical nasal morphology was compared to noncleft controls. Results: Nasal tip protrusion increased, and at T3 was 2.64 mm greater than noncleft controls. Nasal base width decreased on the cleft side by 4.01 mm after NAM and by 6.73 mm after cheilorhinoplasty. Columellar length of the noncleft to cleft side decreased from 2:1 to 1:1 following NAM. Significant improvements in subnasale, columella, and nasal tip deviations from midsagittal plane were observed. Treatment improved symmetry of the alar morphology angle and the nasal base–columella angle between cleft and noncleft sides. Conclusions: Three-dimensional analysis of UCL±P patients demonstrated significant improvements in nasal projection, columella length, nasal symmetry, and nasal width. Compared to noncleft controls, nasal form was generally corrected, with overcorrection of nasal tip projection, columella angle, and outer nasal widths.

Objective: To assess the reliability and validity of measurements performed on three-dimensional virtual models of neonatal bilateral cleft lip and palate patients, compared with measurements performed on plaster cast models. Materials and Methods: Ten high-quality plaster cast models of bilateral cleft lip and palate patients were scanned with an LDI-scanner to obtain a three-dimensional virtual model. Linear measurements were performed on the plaster cast models using a digital caliper and also on the three-dimensional virtual model using Viscam RP version 2.1 software. The measurements were performed by two observers on two occasions. Results: Intraclass correlations ranging from .81 to .96 were found for all measurements except the measurement between the constructed reference point pr and reference point i (intraclass correlation = .40). A post hoc procedure in which top-view screen prints of the three-dimensional virtual model were used to perform the measurement between reference points pr and i demonstrated an intraclass coefficient of .90. Conclusions: Three-dimensional virtual models obtained by laser scanning neonatal cast models of bilateral cleft lip and palate patients can be used reliably and validly to perform linear measurements between existing reference points on the surface of the model using Viscam RP version 2.1 software. Measurements between reference points constructed outside the surface of the model cannot be validly performed on the three-dimensional virtual model with the software used in this study. For these measurements, top-view screen prints of the three-dimensional virtual model can be used.
