This is a case report about the successful orthodontic treatment of a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient by using a combination of bone grafting and subsequent prosthodontic rehabilitation. An adult patient with a bilateral cleft lip and palate presented with a concave profile, anterior and lateral crossbite, a markedly deep overbite, and residual bilateral alveolar clefts. His jaw movement patterns were unstable and irregular due to his collapsed bite. Orthodontic treatment with bilateral bone grafting improved his concave profile by downward and backward rotation of the mandible within the freeway space, and optimum occlusion and functionally stable and smooth jaw movements were obtained. After a 6-year retention period, no skeletal relapse could be detected, and his occlusal stability was satisfactory.

Pearly penile papules are common but not commonly seen in a physician's office. These multiple, white, coronal papules are rarely, if ever, the source of a disease but may cause the adolescent and young adult patient some surprise when they are first noticed. "Discovery" may occur after careful self-examination following suspected contact with venereal disease, sexual exposure, masturbation, or other situations that may be associated with anxiety. Frequently, the patient believes that the lesions originated "overnight"; this is never the case and usually represents inaccurate observation. Lesions of pearly penile papules are characteristic in morphology and locale. They occur exclusively in postpubertal patients. Neinstein and Goldenring1 found pearly penile papules in 23 of 151 (15.2%) boys and men ranging from 11 to 22 years of age. Lesions were not noted in patients less than 14 years old or with a sexual maturity rating less than a Tanner 3. Glicksman and Freeman2 examined 229 men and found these lesions in 45 (20%). There does not appear to be any racial tendency, and whereas one series found a greater percentage in uncircumcised patients,2 a second could not substantiate this possibility.1 Although no surveys have been done in prepubertal patients, it is my clinical impression that these lesions do not occur in this age group.

Fontan-associated protein-losing enteropathy is difficult to treat and associated with poor prognosis. Cardiac rehabilitation and exercise are thought to have beneficial effects for patients with Fontan circulation. We report the case of a young adult patient palliated to Fontan circulation, with a decade-long history of symptoms related to protein-losing enteropathy. At age 23 years, he appreciated an improvement in symptoms and laboratory values after cardiac rehabilitation and prescriptive exercise.
