Nasal tip
Alar base and rim
Philtral ridges
Philtrum

2
Q

Hard palate anatomy

A

The premaxilla is from the tip of the maxilla to the incisive forame. The palatine process of the maxilla runs about halfway down the hard palate, and the palatine bone is the other half, ending in the posterior nasal spine.

3
Q

Soft palate anatomy

A

The velum attaches posteriorly to the hard palate via aponeurosis (the buffer zone for muscles to insert into). The soft palate is primarily composed of muscle and soft tissue for mobility.

4
Q

Pharyngeal anatomy

A

Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx

5
Q

Velopharyngeal muscles (7)

A
  1. Tensor veli palatini–opens the eustacian tubes
  2. Levator veli palatini–lifts the velum; parallel to ET
  3. Palatoglossus–antagonist to LVP
  4. Palatopharyngous–vertical fibers lower velum; horizontal fibers create a sphincter action
  5. Superior constrictor–creates medial displacement of the lateral pharyngeal walls
  6. Musculus uvulae–bulk of velum
  7. Salpingopharyngeous–surface of velum, little functional significance
6
Q

Innervation of VPC

A

Motor: Pharyngeal plexus
Sensory: Trigeminal, Vagus, Facial

7
Q

Closure Patterns

A

Coronal–Velum meets with pharyngeal wall
Saggital–Pharyngeal walls meet horizontally
Circular–Velum and pharyngeal walls meet in the middle w/ or w/o help of adenoids

8
Q

A
  1. Can cause nasal obstruction
  2. Can cause culdesac resonance
  3. Can cause VPI
9

20
Q

Cause of CLP?

Multi-factorial inheritance (genetics+environment); sometimes related to syndromes

20% of cases are primarily inherited
3-5% are chromosomal
65% are primarily environmental or unknown

21
Q

Incidence of CLP

A

Most common birth defect; 1:595

25% Lip only (cleft on left lip in 70% of these)
25% palate only
50% CLP

Lowest incidence in African American population, highest in Native American population

CLP more common in males
CPO more common in females

22
Q

What percentage of children with CLP have another abnormality?

A

14-15%

23
Q

Cleft classifications (basic)

A

Lip and/or palate

Complete (formed before 9th week) or incomplete (formed during 9th week)

Unilateral or bilateral

24
Q

Cleft classifications (advanced)

A

Primary or secondary palate

Submucous cleft

25

A

Centralized and coordinated services
Maximize communication between specialists
Long-term treatment planning

27
Q

Typical timeline for CLP

A
Lip taping=birth, in hospital typically
Nasal-Alveolar molding=before 3 mo.
