Anophthalmia-microphthalmia-oblique clefting syndrome: confirmation of the Fryns anophthalmia syndrome.

We describe a patient with bilateral extreme microphthalmia with bilateral congenital glaucoma, bilateral medial oblique facial cleft ending in lid colobomas, bilateral stenosis of the choanae, bifid uvula, frontal encephalocele, and premature craniosynostosis. The cause is unknown, but the phenotype resembles the Fryns anophthalmia-plus syndrome, which may be a recessive trait, although intrauterine environmental factors cannot be excluded.

Lip and nose morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate from four Scandinavian centres.

Sixty patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate were compared for lip and nose appearance. All patients were photographed from an anteroposterior and a basal view at 7-10 years of age. The photographic registration method was tested for validity and accuracy. Although the four groups of 15 patients each were treated according to different protocols, many similarities were found with shorter lip heights at the cleft side and inclination of the rima oris. Asymmetry of nose and retropositioning at the cleft side naris were generally seen. Significantly straighter noses were demonstrated in the group treated with a two-stage lip nose operation combined with nose plugs, and the two groups where vomer flaps were used showed the greatest deviation of the nose.

Craniofacial and occlusal characteristics in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients from four Scandinavian centres.

Craniofacial morphology and dental occlusion were studied at early school age in 15 consecutive patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate from each of four Scandinavian cleft centres. Treatment differed mainly in the techniques of palatal repair. Push-back closure of the palate particularly impaired maxillary development, which resulted in an increased incidence of crossbite and reduced intercanine distance when compared with patients who had been operated on by the von Langenbeck method or in whom the anterior palate had not yet been closed.

Evaluation of unilateral cleft lip and palate treatment: long term results.

Fifty-seven consecutive complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients were followed longitudinally from birth to 21 years of age. All patients were operated with the same primary surgical procedures. Reevaluation at age 21 with respect to speech, dental condition, need for secondary surgery, and skeletal and soft tissue facial growth was completed. Speech results indicated that 13 patients (23 percent) had required a pharyngeal flap, and that at age 21 only one patient still had unacceptable speech. The majority of patients had slight speech disturbances related to articulation and voice quality. Fifty-one patients had acceptable occlusion following orthodontic treatment, twenty-two patients (39 percent) without need for prosthodontic treatment of the cleft area. Secondary surgery for correction of nasal deformities was required for fifty-two patients. Growth analysis demonstrated deficiency in growth; however, normal and acceptable profiles were obtained in 50/57 of the patients.

The effect of pulsed electromagnetic energy (Diapulse) on the survival of experimental skin flaps. A study on rats.

Experimental skin flaps in rats were treated with an active/non-active Diapulse unit in a double-blind trial to clarify whether or not pulsed electromagnetic energy had any effect on the surviving length of flaps. The observed differences in surviving flap areas between the Diapulse treated group and the untreated group as compared to the predicted survival by fluoresceine and/or vital capillary television microscopy were not statistically significant (p less than 0.10) in a set up, that on a significance level of 5%, would have detected an enhancement of flap survival of greater than or equal to 10% in 98% of trials.
