most common type of cleft lip
80% unilateral
70% left side
70% associated with cleft palate
prevalence of cleft palate only
30%
fusion defect of cleft palate
palatal shelves
prevalence of cleft lip and palate together
45%
complications of cleft palate
voice (nasal)
respiratory tract infections
fluid regurgitation
poor seal
dental abnormalities
management of orofacial clefts
take into account growth of bone and growth spurts
multiple primary and secondary procedures
defects associated with Pierre-Robin Sequence
mandibular micrognathia
macroglossia
cleft palate
sequence of pierre-robin sequence
- small mandible
- no forcing tongue down in development
- no room for nasal palatal shelves
- cleft palate
presentation of pierre-robin sequence
tiny chin
tiny mandible
big tongue
cleft palate
clinical problems associated with Pierre-robin sequence
hypoxia
feeding problems
failure to thrive
cerebral impairment
upper airway obstruction by tongue
management of pierre-robin sequence
prone position
nasopharyngeal intubation
lip tongue adhesion
mandibular distraction
tracheostomy
clinical features of commissural lip pits
-blind tract
-corners of mouth, unilateral or bilateral
-occasionally express saliva
association of commissural lip pits
not associated with orofacial clefts
may be associated with preauricular pits
clinical features fo paramedian lip pits
-congenital fistulas of the lower lip
-congenital lip pits
-adjacent to midline
associations of paramedian lip pits
associated with van der woude syndrome
clinical features of double lip
-redundant tissue
-congenital and acquired (trauma, lip sucking habit)
associations of double lip
ascher syndrome
-double lip
-blepharochalasis (edema of upper eyelids)
-nontoxic thyroid enlargement / goiter
clinical features of fordyce granules
-ectopic sebaceous glands
-multiple yellow / white papules
-development at puberty
-asymptomatic
-oral sebaceous glands
-no treatment necessary
clinical features of leukoderma
-blacks > whites
-diffuse, gray-white, milky, opalescent appearance
-more prominent in smokers
-does not rub off
-reduced intensity whens tretched
congenital and hereditary causes of macroglossia
-vascular malformation
-lymphangioma
-hemangioma
-cretinism
-down syndrome
-neurofibromatosis
-multiple endocrine neoplasia
acquired causes of macroglossia
-edentulism
-muscular hypertrophy
-amyloidosis
-myxedema
-acromegaly
-neoplasia
prevalence of ankyloglossia
1.7-10.7% of neonates
M>F
impairments associated with ankyloglossia
-short thick lingual frenum
-limits tongue mobility
-occasional impaired breastfeeding
-occasional mild speech impairment
