  • A midline or median cleft lip is rare, and a midline cleft associated with a unilateral cleft and a proboscis-like structure is rarer still. We present a case managed at our center in which a 5-year-old male had a median cleft of the upper lip with an associated 'proboscis' and a microform unilateral cleft lip.

  • Midline clefts of the upper lip are rare, and it is therefore important that surgeons have access to a methodical approach for when these presentations are encountered. We adapted principles of the anatomic subunit approximation for unilateral cleft lip, to the repair of midline clefts. The overt use of anatomic landmarks to define the repair results in a design that inherently adjusts to varying degrees of clefts and can accommodate asymmetries. The "measure twice, cut once" style is an advantage to new surgeons and to surgeons who seldom encounter this presentation. We describe the details of surgical repair in the context of a patient with Pai syndrome and associated nasal hamartomas that resulted in nasolabial asymmetry. This is the first report of surgical outcome following treatment of Pai syndrome and includes early and 5-year follow-up. The system of repair that we describe is applicable to both symmetric and asymmetric midline clefts.

  • Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare congenital disease. The disease is often misdiagnosed as a branchial cleft deformity, thyroglossal duct cyst, or other skin diseases. It has the following characteristics: skin defect at the midline of the anterior neck, a skin tag at the upper end of the lesion, and a blind sinus tract at the caudal aspect with or without mucoid discharge. Treatment is usually for aesthetic purposes; therefore, early surgical en bloc resection with Z-plasty or W-plasty is recommended to reduce recurrence and scar formation.

  • The classic triad of diagnostic signs of submucosal cleft palate which may be present are: 1) bifid uvula 2) short palate with no muscle in the midline and 3) hard palate with a submucous notching defect in the posterior midline. The treatment of submucous cleft palate are V-Y push back palatorrhaphy, and superior based pharyngoplasty implant in the posterior pharynx. The best speech results were in those children operated upon in the younger age group (especially at or before 2 years of age), thus pointing up the importance of early diagnosis.

  • Although congenital anomalies of the atlas have been well-documented, atlas anomalies of clefts and aplasia are rare. Anterior and posterior midline clefts of the atlas have been reported separately in some series. However, combined congenital anterior and posterior midline clefts of the atlas are reported rarely. Hence, we report a very rare case of combined congenital anterior and posterior midline clefts of the atlas associated with asymptomatic lateral atlantoaxial subluxation.

  • Purpose: The oral teratoma is found approximately in live birth at the rate from 1 : 35,000 to 1 : 200,000. In a review of literature 16 cases of midline teratoma with cleft palate were reported. We report a case of congenital palatal teratoma with cleft palate in a 1-year-old girl. Methods: A 1-year-old girl was admitted our institution for the closure of cleft palate. On the intraoperative findings there was $4{\times}1{\times}0.5cm$ sized hairy soft mass at the midline and complete cleft palate. We did incisional biopsy intraoperatively and its pathology revealed heterotopic brain tissue. The excision of remaining mass and palatoplasty with Sommerlad's method were performed. The final pathology of the mass was mature cystic teratoma. Results: After the operation there were neither recurrence nor oronasal regurgitation. Conclusion: We report for one patient with congenital palatal teratoma associated with cleft palate and obtained an excellent result.

  • Congenital defects of the sternum are rare development anomalies. They result form the failure of the lateral sternal bars to fuse. This malformation may be associated with other ventral midline fusion defects and ectopia cordis. A complete sternal cleft is the rarest form and less than 10 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Here were report a 3-day-old boy with complete sternal cleft without other malformations, who underwent primary surgical repair. Surgical correction of complete sternal cleft should be performed in neonatal period whether the infant if symptomatic or not because it is usually simple, able to achieve good result and primary repair is usually feasible at this period.

  • A submucous cleft palate(SMCP) is characterized by a midline deficiency or lack with/without incorrect positioning of muscular tissues in the soft palate, and by a bony defect in the midline or the center of the hard palate. Velopharyngeal incompetence(VPI) related to this SMCP has been managed by various surgical and prosthetic techniques. Because the individual diagnosis and treatment of SMCP patients was not easy to the speech pathologist and to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeons, and for the better understanding and for the ideal approaches to the SMCP patients, we reviewed several recent articles about grading system in the SMCP caused by VPI, and summarized in this review article.

  • 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.

  • Vomer flap is used to repair anterior hard palate in complete cleft lip and palate patients. As the midline structure located in between the two cleft segments of hard palate, the vomer flap is very useful because of its vicinity to cleft site and their ease of execution when it is done with primary cheiloplasty simultaneously. In addition, the quality of tissue is very similar to that of the nasal mucosa with good vascularity. In cases of simultaneous repair of cleft lip with anterior palate using vomer flap, the hard palate can be repaired at the same time with primary cheiloplasty which is earlier period than other techniques. With simultaneous close of cleft lip and cleft hard palate by vomer flap, subsequent palatoplasty does not require wide dissection, and consequently chance of oronasal fistula formation will be minimized. Additionally, surgical time will be reduced and, the harmful effects on mid-facial growth will be diminished. In this article, we will introduce the comprehensive vomer flap technique with primary lip closure and review the comparative studies of the outcome of simultaneous repair of cleft lip and cleft hard palate with vomer flap.
