Q

What is the difference between a complete cleft of the primary palate and that of the secondary palate

A

A complete cleft of the primary palate extends into the nose, is always associated with a cleft lip, and does not expose the vomer. A complete cleft of the secondary palate involves both the hard and soft palates, extends into the nose, and exposes the vomer.

Q

What is the role of palatal plates in the treatment of cleft palates

A palatal plate, when worn for 3 months prior to surgery and adjusted weekly to bring the palate and alveolus into a more normal shape, has been shown to lessen closure tension during surgery.

Q

What is the significance of the timing of palatal repair on midfacial growth and speech

A

Earlier repair is associated with better speech but midface retrusion; later repair is associated with worse speech but minimal midface retrusion. More evidence exists to support the importance of timing on speech than on midface retrusion.

27
Q

T/F: A cleft lip is always associated with a cleft alveolus

A

False; but a cleft alveolus is always associated with a cleft lip.

28
Q

For which types of clefts is the double reversing Z-plasty best

A

For narrow soft palate clefts and submucous clefts.

29
Q

What are the boundaries of a unilateral cleft of the primary palate

A

From the incisive foramen anteriorly, between the canine and adjacent incisor to the lip.

30
Q

What disorder should be suspected in children with cleft palate who fall below the 5t h percentile in growth

A

Growth hormone deficiency, as it is 40 times more common in this population.

31
Q

What is the incidence of isolated cleft palate in term newborns

A

I in 2000.

32
Q

When does midface retrusion present in children with cleft palate

A

In the teenage years when the growth spurt occurs.

33
Q

What divides the palate into the primary and secondary palates

A

Incisive foramen.

34
Q

What type of cleft is a submucous cleft palate

A

Incomplete cleft of the secondary palate.

35
Q

What is the characteristic nasal deformity in a child with a unilateral cleft lip

A

Inferior and posterior displacement of the alar cartilage on the cleft side.

36
Q

What are the indications for pharyngoplasty after cleft palate repair

A

Intractable VPI not responsive to speech therapy.

37
Q

What is the term for repair of the levator veli palatini muscle during cleft palate repair

A

Intravelar veloplasty.

38
Q

What are the major advantages of the Millard repair

A

It preserves cupid’s bow and the philtral dimple, and by placing the tension of closure under the alar base, it reduces flare and promotes improved molding of the underlying alveolar process.

39
Q

During embryologic development, what causes a cleft lip

A

Lack of mesodermal proliferation results in an incomplete epithelial bridge.

40
Q

What artery runs through the incisive foramen

A

Lesser palatine artery.

41
Q

What structures form the hard palate

A

Maxilla, horizontal process of the palatine bone, and the pterygoid plates.

42
Q

How is midface retrusion treated

A

Maxillary advancement through LeFort osteotomies.

43
Q

What happens to the soft palate muscles in a secondary cleft palate

A

Muscle fibers follow the cleft margins and insert into the posterior edge of the remaining soft palate.

44
Q

What happens to the orbicularis oris muscle in a complete cleft lip

A

Muscle fibers follow the cleft margins and tenninate at the alar base.

45
Q

What happens to the orbicularis oris muscle in an incomplete cleft lip

A

Muscle fibers remain continuous but are hypoplastic across the cleft.

46
Q

Which ethnic group has the highest incidence of cleft lip

A

Native Americans.

47
Q

What muscles form the soft palate

A

Palatopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, levator and tensor veli palatini, muscular uvula, palatoglossus, and superior constrictor muscles.

48
Q

What are the most common environmental causes for clefts

A

Poorly controlled maternal diabetes and amniotic band syndrome.

49
Q

What is usually the last surgery performed in children with clefts

A

Rhinoplasty.

50
Q

Feeding difficulties are most severe with which type of cleft

A

Secondary palate clefts (either isolated or in combination with clefts of the lip and primary palate).

51
Q

What strategies can be used to assist feeding with a cleft palate

A

Specialized nipples, upright feeding to minimize nasal regurgitation, palatal plates.

52
Q

What was the first approach described for cleft lip repair

A

Straight line closure.

53
Q

What are the 3 techniques most often used for unilateral cleft lip repair

A

Straight line repair, Tennison triangular flap repair, and Millard rotation advancement flap.

54
Q

What are 2 techniques for pharyngoplasty

A

Superior based pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty.

55
Q

What muscle is primarily responsible for preventing velopharyngeal insufficiency

A

Superior constrictor muscle.

56
Q

What is Simonart’s band

A

The bridge of tissue connecting the central and lateral lip in an incomplete cleft lip.

57
Q

In a Millard repair, which part of the lip is rotated and which is advanced

A

The medial segment is rotated inferiorly, and the lateral segment is then advanced medially.

58
Q

What are the 2 most common methods of secondary cleft palate repair

A

The V-Y advancement and the double reversing Z-plasty.

59
Q

Which is best for clefts extending into the hard palate

A

The V-Y advancement.

60
Q

What is the purpose of lip adhesion

A

To facilitate definitive repair by decreasing the tension across the wound.

61
Q

What is the most common single gene transmission error causing clefts

A

Trisomy 21.

62
Q

T/F: At no time in the development of the normal primary palate is there a separation

A

True.

63
Q

What is the most common repair for complete unilateral cleft palate

A

Two flap palatoplasty, described by Bardach and Slayer.

64
Q

What % of patients eventually require pharyngoplasty to reduce VPI

A

Up to 20%.

65
Q

What are the 2 most commonly used classification systems for clefts

A

Veau and Iowa classifications.

66
