Background: Superior orbital fissure syndrome is a rare complication that occurs in association with craniofacial trauma. The characteristics of superior are attributable to constellation cranial nerve III, IV, and VI palsies. This the largest series describing traumatic assesses recovery individual function after treatment. Methods: In review from 1988 2002, 33 patients were identified 11,284 (0.3 percent) skull facial fractures. Severity injury functional evaluated by extraocular muscle...

Background: This study was performed to investigate the prognostic factors that influence hearing outcomes of children with cleft lip and palate after ventilation tube insertion. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed thresholds 90 univariate multivariate analyses five for outcomes: age at palatoplasty, first insertion, timing frequency type palate. Results: On analysis, found older palatoplasty ( p = 0.002), insertion 0.025), increased 0.048) were significant poorer in Multiple...

One of major limitations applying distraction osteogenesis for craniofacial skeleton hypoplasia is the long duration bony consolidation. This study investigated whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) could accelerate consolidation in rat mandible.An L-shape osteotomy was performed unilaterally hemimandible Sprague-Dawley rats. An internal distracter employed to create a 7-mm gap mandible. hundred twenty rats were divided into three groups. The zone mandible received no treatment as...

A 4-year-old girl presented with hypernasal speech. On examination, in addition to velopharyngeal incompetence noted by speech a palatal tumor was found between the cleft palate. The computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging examinations were suspicious for midline teratoma. Total excision of nasopalatal performed, pathology revealed benign After 6 months follow-up, no recurrence noted. two-flap palatoplasty superior-based pharyngeal flap then performed reconstruct defect correct...

Intraoperative or early postoperative vascular complications are not uncommon problems in sagittal split osteotomies of the mandibular ramus; however, reports late considerably rarer. Here, we present two patients who sustained after osteotomy. The first patient had a delayed bleeding, which presented itself as rapidly expanding swelling left cheek from external carotid artery 18 days postoperatively. During exploration, 2 mm laceration located just proximal to bifurcation internal maxillary...

The aim of this study is to clarify the postsurgical stability temporomandibular joints in skeletal class III patients treated with 2-jaw orthognathic surgery which was performed utilizing computer-aided three-dimensional simulation and navigation (CASNOS) protocol.23 consecutive nongrowing mandibular prognathism associated maxillary retrognathism between 2018 2019 were enrolled study. planned according standardized protocol CASNOS (computer-aided surgery). Computed tomography (CT) scans all...

This retrospective study evaluated the volume of blood loss and operative time associated with management nongrowing patients cleft lip palate (CLP) using bimaxillary orthognathic surgery (OGS) designed by a three-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted simulation navigation for (CASNOS) system. included 53 skeletal Class III unilateral CLP who underwent OGS either CASNOS protocol (n = 30) or traditional two-dimensional (2D) method 23). The parameters jaw-bone components, levels hemoglobin (Hb)...

Background: The aim of this retrospective case series study was to compare three-dimensional postsurgical outcomes patients with cleft lip and palate following maxillary advancement. Methods: Fifty consecutive who underwent whole-pieced Le Fort I advancements were assigned the major (advancement ≥ 5 mm) or minor < groups. Three-dimensional surgical simulation used for presurgical evaluation planning. Virtual triangles presurgical, simulated, 6-month postoperative stages comparison....

Background: This study was designed to identify the potential predictors of postoperative velopharyngeal function after double opposing Z-plasty (DOZP) for treatment insufficiency (VPI) in patients who had prior palatoplasty cleft palate. Methods: retrospective reviewed medical records consecutive received DOZP VPI receiving a treating palate between 2004 and 2017. The speech outcome patient measured using Pittsburgh Weighted Speech Scale (PWSS) at 6 months following surgery determined...

Management of comminuted facial fractures with maxillary-mandibular arch interruption is difficult, resulting in inadequate bone reduction and malocclusion. Traditionally, a good quality dental splint helpful, but difficult to obtain acute trauma. We apply computer-assisted design three-dimensional printing technology improve fabrication utilization, thus facilitating restoration occlusion fracture.We retrospectively reviewed patients who suffered from the arches. developed...

We report a female infant with presentation of epignathus teratoma involving duplication both the mandible and tongue. Epignathus has rarely been reported in literature thus far. The location extent tumor, as well involvement adjacent structures, resulted trismus upper airway obstruction at birth. Thus, staged operations including debulking correction anatomical anomaly were performed on this patient after life-saving tracheostomy. As result, we not only prevented morbidity associated but...

Surgical predictions for skeletal Class III patients have been reported to be the least accurate. Additionally, female tend focus more on improving their facial esthetics. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing prediction accuracy of photocephalometry adult treated with two-jaw surgery. A photocephalometric investigation undertaken assess in a sample 16 requiring bimaxillary orthognathic Tracings cephalograms and one-to-one predicted photographs were carried out. Selected landmarks...

PurposeTo investigate the clinical effects of preoperative nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and nasal conformer use in patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip on basis their medical records images.Patients MethodsData images 16 born who were hospitalized between January 2015 August 2017 retrieved from records. The primary outcome was extent improvement columella height (CH) before cheiloplasty. Other measurements included CH, nostril width, height, which measured by ImageJ image processing...

Orofacial clefts (OFC) are complex genetic traits that often classified as syndromic or non-syndromic clefts. To date, over 500 types of have been identified and listed in the Online Mendelian Inheritance Man (OMIM) database (www.omim.org), underlying factors for many these identified. Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) (OMIM: 119300) is a dominantly inherited developmental disorder with high penetrance (96.7%) but variable expression.1 VWS characterized by pits and/or sinuses lower lip, cleft lip...

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence tooth agenesis, malformation, and eruption patterns upper canines/first premolars in Taiwanese children. A total 132 cleft lip palate (CLCP) patients (82 boys 50 girls) underwent alveolar bone grafting (ABG) between 2012 2022. patients' dental records X-ray images were inspected. We examined anomalies, including congenital missing teeth, microdontia, transposition from canines first these CLCP patients. Additionally, we investigated...

Purpose: This study aimed at measuring the differences between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) radiographic boundaries for molar distalization, their correlations amount of maxillary distalization.

To evaluate the long-term stability of LeFort I osteotomy followed by distraction osteogenesis with a transcutaneous rigid external device for treatment severe maxillary hypoplasia in patients cleft lip and palate.Nine palate underwent after advancement. Lateral cephalometric films were analyzed assessment outcome 1 month, 6 months, year distraction.Significant advancement was observed horizontal direction, anterior nasal spine (ANS) distance maxilla increasing an average 20.5 ± 5.1 mm...
