دراسة أنثروبومترية لتقييم التشوهات الأنفية عند مرضى شقوق الشفة أحادية الجانب

Abstract EN

Background & Objective: the nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip patients were differ according to the primary closing technique of the lip.

The aim of this research was to perform anthropometric study for evaluation the nasal deformities at unilateral cleft lip patients.

Patients: A clinical respective study was accomplished on a specimen of 26 patients affected with unilateral complete cleft lip: 13 patients underwent primary surgical closure by using Millard method and the other 13 patients underwent primary surgical closure by using Pfeifer method.

Methods & Materials: All cases were clinically documented by depending on standardized medical photography throughout a 15 months postsurgical follow-up period.

The anthropometric analysis method was adopted to evaluate the radiographs.

Results: The nose and nasal opening width, the Ala nasal flatten, the length of the colummella ,and the nasolibial angle were evaluated.

The width of the nasal opening was better in the Millard group.

But the length of the colummella and the nasolipial was slightly better in Pfreifer method was applied.

The flat of the ala was the same in the two groups.

Conclusion: Pfeifer method supports the length of the colummela and the nasal labial angle.

Millard method supports the opening nasal width.
