Abstract
Congenital palatal fistulas are rare, and few cases have been reported. Most reported cases present with a submucous cleft palate. In terms of etiology, whether the fistula is congenital or acquired has been debated. Moreover, there is not a generally accepted surgical procedure for repair of palatal fistulas. We present a case of a congenital palatal fistula with a submucous cleft palate that was successfully treated with a Furlow double - opposing Z - plasty. We discuss palatal fistulas with a review of the literature.
