AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a rare complication called anisocoria (specifically mydriasis) that occurred in a patient with cleft lip and palate after orthognathic surgery.
- It suggests that mydriasis may arise from separation of the pterygoid plate from the sphenoid bone, potentially damaging cranial nerves.
- The findings emphasize the need for awareness of anatomical variations in cleft patients to prevent such complications and outline the management of anisocoria.
Article Abstract
This study aims to report a rare complication, anisocoria (mydriasis), in a patient with cleft lip and palate in the immediate postoperative period after orthognathic surgery and discuss the literature surrounding this event. Mydriasis after orthognathic surgery may be related to the separation of the pterygoid plate from the sphenoid bone, which can injure the cranial nerves. Therefore, knowledge of possible anatomical variations of the posterior region of the maxilla becomes extremely important to minimize complications in cleft patients. The reported case highlights the management of anisocoria as a complication as well as the importance of its knowledge.
