Cleft Lip and Palate Flashcards
timeline for formation of the face in utero
between 4 and 8 weeks
5 prominences of facial formation
- frontonasal prominence
- 2 maxillary prominences
- 2 mandibular prominences
frontonasal prominence will form ?
- forehead
- nose
- central part of the lip
maxillary prominences will form ?
- upper jaw
- upper half of the cheeks (skin, muscles, nerves)
mandibular prominences will form ?
- lower jaw
- lower half of the cheeks (skin, muscles, nerves)
what are fusion lines
- from prominences fusing together
- usually not visible
which fusion lines are visible
the philtral columns (upper lip)
at which week in utero has the palate formed
11
which part of the palate forms first
primary palate
what is the primary palate
anterior palate lying in front of the incisive foramen
what is the secondary palate
palatal shelves that fuse in the midline to form the complete palate
cleft cause
- idiopathic
- genetic component
- failure of prominences to fully fuse
cleft types
- cleft lip in isolation
- unilateral cleft lip and palate
- bilateral cleft lip and palate
- cleft of the hard and soft palate
- cleft of the soft palate
- submucous cleft palate
which cleft types impact speech
- unilateral cleft lip and palate
- bilateral cleft lip and palate
- cleft of the hard and soft palate
- cleft of the soft palate
- submucous cleft palate
which cleft types do not impact speech
cleft lip in isolation
unilateral cleft lip and palate
bilateral cleft lip and palate
cleft of the hard and soft palate
cleft of the soft palate
submucous cleft palate
syndromes associated with cleft lip/palate
- Treacher Collins
- Aperts
- Van der Woude
- Prader-Willi
- Beckwith-Wiedeman
- 22q11 Deletion Syndrome
22q11.2 deletion syndrome
C - cardiac defect
A - abnormal facial feature
T - thymus gland problems and reduced immunity
C - cleft palate/palatal abnormalities
H - hypocalcemia (calcium deficiency)
22 - deletion of chromosome 22
- VPD, laryngotracheal abnormalities
- apraxia, dysarthria, voice disorder, language delay
- intellectual disability, ADHD, ASD, psychiatric diagnoses
most common cleft palate associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
submucous cleft palate
implications of cleft
- feeding
- speech, language, voice
- hearing
- orthodontics
- dentition
- psychosocial
cleft MDT is central to ?
child/family
primary surgery to repair cleft lip age
3-6 months (depends on severity)
primary surgery to repair cleft palate age
6-12 months
secondary speech surgery purpose
- palate re-repair
- pharyngeal flap pharyngoplasty
- buccinator flap palatal lengthening
- pharyngoplasty
lip revision surgery age
- 4-5 years
- push for this to happen when child is older (later surgery = better outcome)
alveolar bone graft age
10-11 years
orthognathic surgery age
17 years
plastic surgery revision of nose and lip age
17 years
oronasal fistula definition
hole or opening in the palate after cleft lip repair
oronasal fistula cause
- breakdown of tissue during healing process post surgery
- can open after maxillary expansion or growth
