Microforma de fisura labial superior incompleta unilateral: reporte de un caso / Microform of unilateral incomplete upper cleft lip: report of a case

La microforma de fisura labial es una expresión de la fisura labial superior incompleta que se caracteriza por un surco o depresión cutáneomuscular a lo largo del margen del filtrum, asimetría o discontinuidad del margen mucocutáneo a nivel del pico del arco de Cupido, discontinuidad de la porción superior del músculo orbicular de la boca y deformidad menor del ala nasal. Es una condición que por su aparente poca gravedad y aparente fácil reparación, así como por su inusual presentación clínica, los reportes literarios sobre ella son escasos. Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica al respecto y se comunica un caso clínico como aporte a la literatura (AU)

Clinical effect of triangle flap from nasal vestibule on minor unilateral incomplete cleft lip / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of triangle flap from the nasal vestibule on correcting the minor form unilateral incomplete cleft lip.Methods 72 patients with the minor-form unilateral incomplete cleft lip were invloved in this study.Based on different surgical procedures,all the patients were divided into two groups:36 patients were treated with harvesting a triangle flap from the nasal vestibule,rotating,increasing lip height;other 36 patients were treated with Millard method as control group.The positive photographs of two groups of patients were taken one year after surgery.Lip height,lip width,nostril width,nostril circumference and visible scar area were measured and compared statistically.Results Good rate of the group of the triangle flap from nasal vestibule was 91.6％ (33/36),but that of the group of Millard method was 72.2％ (29/36) (P＜0.05).The ratios of unaffected to affected sides of lip height,nostril circumference and nasal width in the triangle flap from nasal vestibule were 1.077±0.015,1.083±0.005,and 1.083±0.005;those of other group of Millard method were 1.078±0.013,1.095±0.005 and 1.096±0.015,respectively,with no significant difference (P＞0.05).But there was significant difference in laberal scar between the group of the triangle flap from nasal vestibule (0.510±0.004) mm2 and the control group of Millard method (0.830±0.009) mm2 (P＜0.05).Conclusions The nasal vestibule triangle flap method can significantly decrease the visible scar on lip and achieve the same good result compared to traditional Millard method.

Unilateral Incomplete Cleft Lip- Chieloplasty: A Case Report.

Orofacial clefts are the most prevalent craniofacial birth defects and these malformations transform an infant with severe functional and esthetic handicaps. Cleft lip and palate is a common malformation that occurs in about 2 in 1000 live births. The cleft can vary from a hardly visible furrow in the palate or on one side of the lip to bilateral complete clefts of the lip, alveolus and palate. Clefts of the lip, alveolus and palate are highly complicated malformations. The problems associated such as speech, function, esthetic, and socio-psychological and more precisely deleterious effect on the growth and development of teeth, alveolus and jaws. A specialized corrective surgery is mandatory and indicated in early months of life to achieve the best outcome to improve the function and appearance. We are presenting a case of unilateral incomplete cleft lip with primary repair in a 4months and 20days baby boy.

Objective To explore the effect of the straight line and the auxiliary incision of lip skin on repairing unilateral incomplete cleft lip.Methods 120 cases of unilateral incomplete cleft lip repaired with the straight line method and reconstruction of the orbicularis oris muscle with the auxiliary incision of lip skin.Results 2 cases of cleft relapse by tumble.The wound of 115 children were healed one stage.3 children were healed two stage.All children didn't present vermilion deficiency.The upper lip presented natural labial groove between affected and unaffected side.Both sides of nostrils were symmetry and scars were not ovbious.Conclusion This new method was simple and effective in repairing unilateral incomplete cleft lip.
