Q

Veau System

A

Veau System
 *Quick general Reference
 *Nature and extent of Clefts
 In this system, you classify clefts into four different classes.
 1) Cleft of the soft palate only.
 2) Cleft of the hard and soft palate
 3) Complete unilateral cleft of the soft and hard palate and on the lip and alveolar ridge on one side.
 4) Complete bilateral cleft of the soft and hard palate and/or the lip and alveolar ridge on both sides.

Q

Cleft of the lip

A

Involves vermillion of the upper lip and can extend to nostril
 Incomplete cleft

 Flattened nose, flaring nostril
 Columella short, misaligned
 Most commonly on left side (unilateral)
 If bilateral, usually cleft palate also
 Isolated cleft of the lip is rare

16
Q

Bilateral cleft of the upper lip

A

Most severe because of lack of tissue
 Features
 *Lip and alveolar processes clefted under each nostril
 *Abnormal position of
 **Prolabium, alveolar processes, premaxilla
 *Columella, usually absent
 **Tip of nose attaches to lip
 Nasal Septum not attached to palatal shelves

17
Q

Submucous cleft

A

 Cleft of the muscular region of the soft palate  Thin layer of mucosal tissue covers cleft
 May not be detected until later
 Bifid Uvula
 Zona pellucida
 Notch on posterior border of hard palate  Velopharyngeal Incompetence

18
