본 증례에서는 2명의 불완전, 그리고 완전구순열 환자를 Delaire의 개념에 의하여 수술을 시행 하였다. 불완전 구순열 교정은 코 교정 후 좌우 비대칭을 해소할 수 있었으나 완전구순구개열의 환아에서는 코의 비대칭성을 회복하기 위해 동시 수술을 시행하였으나 좌우 비대칭성은 수술 후에도 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 증례의 경우 환자의 경제적 그리고 사회적 이유로 인해 수술이 지연된 환자로 수술에 난이도는 비교적 높지 않았던 경우로 비강전정부위와 비익부위, 그리고 구륜근 등의 피부 하방에 비정상적으로 배열된 근육의 박리와 재위치를 이루어주었던 경우였다. 술 후 평가를 위한, 심미, 발음, 기능과 정서적 발달 정도를 검사하여야 하나 지리적 관계로 재평가가 어려운 점이 예상된다.

순 구개열(cleft lip and palate)은 구강악안면 영역에서 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 선천성 기형 중 하나로 유전적, 환경적 요인에 의해 발생된다. 순 구개열 환자는 입술, 코 등의 기형을 보이며 치과적 문제점으로, 이환측 측절치는 결손되어 있거나 과잉치가 존재하고 형태적 이상을 보이는 경우가 많고, 맹출하지 못하거나 이소맹출을 하게된다. 이른 시기에 수행된 수술의 반흔조직(scar tissue)으로 인하여 상악골 성장의 장애가 발생되어 흔히 골격성 III급 부정교합이 야기되기 쉬우며, 섭식장애와 발음장애를 보이기도 한다. 이러한 복잡한 문제로 인하여 여러 분야의 전문가들로부터 다양한 관리가 필요하다. 순/구개열(cleft lip and alveolus only)은 악안면 영역에 제한적으로 영향을 미친다. 비이환측은 전방으로 회전되어 수평피개가 증가되고, 이환측은 내측으로 회전되어 견치부에서 end to end 관계, 혹은 반대교합을 보인다. 순/구개열 수술은 이와 같은 문제점 등을 개선시키기 위한 것이며, 상악골의 전후방적 성장에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 증례는 좌측에 순/구개열을 가진 5세 3개월의 여아로 생후 3개월 및 3세에 두 번의 구순열 봉합 수술을 받았으며, 상악 좌측 유측절치와 영구측절치가 결손되어 있었고, 다발성 우식증 및 비구누공(oroantral fistula)이 존재하였으며, 골격성 3급 부정교합을 보였다. 그러나 본 증례가 지니고 있는 골격성 III급 부정교합은 구순열 수술후의 반흔조직에 의한 것은 아닌 것으로 판단되었으며, 환자의 기능과 심미성을 회복하기 위하여 혼합치열기 동안 공간관리(space supervision) 및 악기능 장치 (functional regulator)를 이용한 골격성 부정교합을 치료하였으며, 영구치열기 동안 고정성 교정치료를 시행한 후 보철 치료를 시행하여 비구누공을 key and keyway attachment와 Konus crown을 이용한 가철성 obturator로 폐쇄하여 양호한 결과를 보였다.

Background: Rehabilitation of normal function and form is essential in cleft lip repair. In 2005, Dr. David M. Fisher introduced an innovative method, named "an anatomical subunit approximation technique" in unilateral cleft lip repair. According to this method, circumferential incision along the columella on cleft side of the medial flap is continued to the planned top of the Cupid's bow in straight manner, which runs parallel to the unaffected philtral ridge. Usually, small inlet incision is needed to lengthen the medial flap. On lateral flap, small triangle just above the cutaneous roll is used to prevent unesthetic shortening of upper lip. This allows better continuity of the Cupid's bow and ideal distribution of tension. Case presentation: As a modification to original method, orbicularis oris muscle overlapping suture is applied to make the elevated philtral ridge. Concomitant primary rhinoplasty also results in good esthetic outcome with symmetric nostrils and correction of alar web. As satisfactory results were obtained in three incomplete and one complete unilateral cleft lip patients, indicating Fisher's method can be useful in cleft lip surgery with functional and esthetic outcome. Conclusions: Clinically applied Fisher's method in unilateral cleft lip patients proved the effectiveness in improving the esthetic results with good symmetry. This method also applied with primary rhinoplasty.

Cleft lip and palate are most common congenital defomity to affect the orofacial region. Cleft lip and palate are caused by abnormal development of primary and secondary palate. Its causative mechanism is not completely understood, but genetic and environmental factors play important roles. Lots of epidemiologic surveys have been done extensively about incidence, racial influence, sex ratio, parent age, associated syndrome and genetic factors. These researches are useful to dissolve many problems in prevention and treatment of cleft lip and palate. We performed epidemiologic survey of cleft lip and palate who visited the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Guro hospital of Korea University from 1995 to 2004.

Purpose: Median cleft of upper lip is defined as any congenital vertical cleft through the midline of the upper lip. It is uncommon, its embryological pathogenesis remains unexplained to date. The authors hereby report a rare case of median cleft of the upper lip associated with enlarged frenulum and palatal mass. This case offers some understanding of the possible embryologic development of this anomaly. Methods: A 10-month-old boy born by normal vaginal delivery at full-term had a notch in the midline of the upper lip with widened philtrum along with enlarged median frenulum, alveolar cleft, and mass of the hard palate. We performed en bloc resection of the enlarged frenulum and palatal mass and cheiloplasty under general anesthesia. Results: Histological examination revealed that the frenulum and palatal mass was consisted of fibrous tissue with normal mucous membrane. The postoperative course was satisfactory. Conclusion: A rare case of median cleft of the upper lip with associated enlarged frenulum and palatal mass was presented with proper surgical management. The surgical technique includes marginal excision of the clefted epithelium and reconstruction of orbicularis oris muscle, in addition to en bloc resection of the palatal mass and frenulotomy.

This study was designed to evaluate the morphology and the position of the mandible in the complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients, Craniofacial skeletal morphology pattern was analyzed on the lateral cephalometric radiographs of the 50 subjects of complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, the 50 normal and 50 class III, Each group was divided into child and adult sub-groups, All the data were tested statistically. The results were as follows: I, In the comparison with the normal group, complete cleft group showed smaller angular, condylar length, clockwisely rotated mandible and larger NMe/SGo(p<0.01). 2, In the comparison with the class III group, the complete cleft group showed significantly smaller angular, condylar, ramal, body length of the mandible(p<0,01). 3. As for the position of the mandibular condyle to the cranial base, the class III group was the most anterior, the normal group was the most posterior and the complete cleft group was in the middle(p<0.05). 4. In the comparison with child group, the normal adult group showed smaller mandibular angle and mandibular plane angle, but not the other two groups. And the complete cleft group and the class III group showed the similar change. The normal and class III group showed increased XiCd/XiPog, but not the complete cleft group(p<0.01).

Generally, an adult cleft lip or/and palate patient shows some amount of maxillary deficiency due to limitation of bony growth caused by heavy scars resulted from previous operations such as a cheiloplasty and/or a palatoplasty at an early child age. To solve the problem, advancement of the maxilla is usually required during orthognathic surgery. However, severe tensional force resulted from heavy scars on the palate and/or the lip, as well as the bony defect at the cleft area limited sufficient advancement of the maxillary segment and finally caused relapse of the reposed maxilla. Therefore, distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was introduced for the successful maxillary advancement inthose kinds of patients. As both hard and soft tissues can be simultaneously and gradually extended with this technique, tensional force caused by heavy scars opposed to forward movement of the maxilla can be reduced to an extent not to develop severe relapse of the advanced maxilla. Since distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was applied as one of standard protocols for the treatment of the patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia dueto cleft lip and/or palate, the devices for the distraction was improved to control the vectors of distraction with better and more stable. We have treated a 23-year-old male cleft patient with a severe maxillary hypoplasia using a newly developed a maxillary distraction device and a RP model for a pre-operative simulation surgery. As a result, we could successfully move the maxilla as we designed pre-operatively and also reduce much of operation time. Therefore, we report of the case to share our experience with colleagues.

The alar base on the cleft side in unilateral complete cleft lip, alveolus and palate is markedly displaced laterally, caudally and dorsally, By incising the pyriform margin from the cleft margin of the alveolar process, including mucosa of the anterior part of the inferior turbinate, to the upper end of the postnasal vestibular fold, the alar base is released from the maxilla, A physiological correction of nasal deformity can be accomplished by careful reconstruction of nasolabial muscle integrity, functional repair of the orbicular muscle, raising and rotating the displaced alar cartilage, and finally by lining the lateral nasal vestibule, The inferior maxillary head of the nasal muscle complex is identified as the deeper muscle just below the web of the nostril, The muscle is repositioned inframedially, so that it is sutured to the periosteum that overlies the facial aspect of the premaxilla in the region of the developing lateral incisor tooth, And then, the deep superior part of the orbicular muscle is sutured to the periosteum and the fibrous tissue at the base of the septum, just in front of the anterior nasal spine, The nasal floor is surgically created by insertions of the nasal muscle complex in deep plane and of the orbicular muscle in superficial one, The upper part of the lateral nasal vestibular defect is sutured by shifting the alar flap cephalically, The middle and lower parts of this defect are closed by use of cleft margin flaps of the philtral and lateral segments, respectively, Authors stress the importance of nasal floor reconstruction at primary surgery and report the technique and postoperative results.
