Lateral clefts are rare in occurrence. The lateral cleft is cause by failure of fusion of the maxillary and mandibular dermatomes. It is also associated with preaurical tags. We present a case of a lateral cleft of the lip with multiple bilateral preauricular tags that was repaired using triangular flaps.

Diagnostic wandering and delayed management are major issues in rare diseases. Here, we report a new Next-Generation Phenotyping (NGP) model for diagnosing Coffin Siris syndrome (CSS) on clinical photographs among controls and distinguish the different genotypes. This retrospective and prospective study, conducted from 1998 to 2023, included frontal and lateral pictures of confirmed CSS.

Background: Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) often exhibit unique anatomical variations in the pterygoid plates, which can influence fracture patterns at the pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ) during Le Fort I osteotomy. These differences may increase the risk of unfavorable fractures, complicating surgery and recovery.
Purpose: The study purpose was to measure the association between the osteotomy level with the PMJ fracture patterns in CLP patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy.

Introduction: The early diagnosis of mandibular asymmetry (MA) in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) can contribute to its treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and the extent of MA in UCLP patients at different growth stages.
Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 47 UCLP patients were included, and divided into two groups (prepubertal stage and pubertal stage).
The kinase LRRK2 is required for the physiological function and expression of the glial glutamate transporter EAAT2 (SLC1A2).

Article Synopsis
- * EAAT2 dysfunction is linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, with specific mutations in LRRK2, particularly Gly2019Ser, reducing EAAT2 expression.
- * This study reveals that LRRK2 is essential for the stability and function of EAAT2, suggesting its role in preventing neuronal damage from excessive excitatory signals, but does not affect the function of other NTTs.
Management of Persistent Hypernasality After Pharyngeal Flap: A Novel V-to-Y Revision Procedure to Tighten the Lateral Ports.

Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is common in patients with a repaired cleft palate. 18% to 20% of patients who undergo superiorly based pharyngeal flap for VPI may require a revision procedure due to persistent hypernasality. One solution to persistent VPI is flap revision, but there is a paucity of revision techniques described in the literature.
