Bridging the Gap: Sella Turcica in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to analyze the prevalence of sella turcica bridging and to measure the size of the sella turcica on profile cephalograms in a homogenous group of surgically repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients.

Setting: Tertiary care center.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Jaw - winking phenomenon: Report of a case with review of literature.

Jaw-winking or the Marcus Gunn phenomenon (MGP), a congenital uncommon condition characterized by involuntary elevation of a drooping upper eyelid concomitant with various movements of the mandible, is well-documented in medical literature, but very little information is available in dental literature. This is an interesting case report of a 17-year-old female with MGP, who reported for orthodontic treatment of her proclined upper anterior teeth, severe lower crowding, and mandibular micrognathia. Review of the literature revealed only two reported cases of dental anomalies in conjunction with MGP.

Glenoid fossa position in surgically repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.

Background: Relative position of the glenoid fossa would play a significant role in the morphology of lower face. The aim of the present study was to cephalometrically evaluate the position of the glenoid fossa in a group of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients in order to better clarify the role of this craniofacial component in skeletal disharmonies associated with this anomaly.

Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 59 patients (32 males and 27 females) with surgically repaired UCLP (mean age 19.
