Objective: Bilateral cleft lip nose deformity often involves nasal alar retraction. The use of autogenous auricular cartilage for correction further aggravated nasal alar retraction caused by nasal lining defects after the operation. A novel graft was developed to address bilateral cleft lip nose deformity.

The Orbitomalar Ligament: A Cleavage Plane in Oculofacial Trauma.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

December 2024

Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Surgery.

We describe an oculofacial injury phenotype manifesting as a cleavage plane following the orbitomalar ligament in 5 cases. Across these cases, curvilinear wounds followed the course of the orbitomalar ligament, running clean planes through orbicularis oculi down to the infraorbital rim and arcus marginalis. One case involved bilateral orbitomalar ligaments, and 1 case involved the inferior canaliculus.

: Although there has been extensive research on the orofacial morphologic effects of cleft lip and palate (CLP), the effects of CLP on mandibular structures remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the trabeculation differences in the mandibular osseous architecture of patients with bilateral CLP (BCLP) and left-sided unilateral CLP (UCLP) using fractal dimension (FD) analysis and to compare these findings with healthy controls without CLP. : A total of 63 patients (27 females, 36 males) with a mean age of 9.

There is considerable variability in the management of common orofacial clefts across Europe, reflecting differing opinions on optimal treatments. An updated overview of treatment protocols for orofacial clefts across 26 expert centres in the European Reference Network CRANIO is presented here. A structured questionnaire was distributed to map the surgical protocol and additional standard procedures for cleft palate (CP), unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP).

Objective: Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) can optimize aesthetic outcomes in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), particularly in those with wider clefts. However, its impact on long-term postoperative sequelae such as midface hypoplasia (MFH) remains unclear. This study analyzed cephalometric data to evaluate NAM's effect on MFH in patients with complete unilateral CLP (UCLP).
