Velopharyngeal Insufficiency After Le Fort I Osteotomy in a Patient With Undiagnosed Occult Submucous Cleft Palate.
TLDR
The authors present a 16-year-old patient who developed velopharyngeal insufficiency after a Le Fort I osteotomy performed for the correction of maxillary hypoplasia and a Class III malocclusion, illustrating the need to screen for submucous cleft palate prior to orthognathic surgery.Abstract:
The authors present a 16-year-old patient with no known history of cleft palate who developed velopharyngeal insufficiency after a Le Fort I osteotomy performed for the correction of maxillary hypoplasia and a Class III malocclusion. Postoperative evaluation revealed the presence of velopharyngeal insufficiency and subtle findings of an occult submucous cleft palate. She had a pharyngeal flap 6 months later with successful correction of the velopharyngeal insufficiency. This case illustrates the need to screen for submucous cleft palate prior to orthognathic surgery.read more

TL;DR: The clinical results obtained confirm that PAOO technique is a safe and reliable complement to orthognathic surgery in the surgical treatment of cleft patients, and by increasing the perimeter of the maxillary dentoalveolar ridge, the segmentation of themaxilla could be avoided, increasing the post operatory stability of these patients.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effects of extended maxillary advancement osteotomy on pharyngeal airway space (PAS) in mid-facial deficient cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients and non-CLP patients.

TL;DR: It has been suggested that a developmental arrest, in the third trimester of gestation, of tissues derived from the neural crest cells accounts for the ocular and most of the nonocular abnormalities in this group of disorders.

TL;DR: The present literature does not support "prophylactic" operations on patients who present with the physical stigmata of submucous cleft palate prior to reaching an age at which it can be demonstrated by perceptual speech assessment that velopharyngeal inadequacy remained refractory to speech therapy.

TL;DR: There is significant phenotypic variability in patients with PITX2 mutations, both within and between families, and developmental glaucoma is common.
