A microform cleft lip has three major components: (1) a minor defect of the upper vermilion border with loss of the mucocutaneous ridge; (2) a narrow ridge of tissue, resembling an exaggerated philtral column extending to the nostril sill; and (3) a deformity of the nostril. To attain the muscle continuity without an external scar on the upper lip, the author introduced a new method for the correction of a microform cleft lip deformity using vertical interdigitation of the orbicularis oris muscle through the intraoral incision to create the philtrum. Through the intraoral incision, a full-thickness incision is made down to the mucosa and the posterior portion of the muscle. Then, the remaining portion of the muscle is dissected. The medial and lateral muscle flaps are also detached from the oral mucosa and completely exposed and split into two leaves. The upper leaf of the lateral muscle flap is sutured to the dermis on the philtral dimple and base of the upper leaf of the medial muscle flap. Two leaves of each muscle flap are sutured together to create a vertical interdigitation to increase the thickness of the philtral column and to provide continuity of the muscle. A total of 12 patients with microform cleft lip were treated between August of 2001 and October of 2002. Seven of the patients were male and five were female, with an age range of 1 to 43 years. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 15 months, with an average follow-up of 9 months. The results of vertical interdigitation of the muscle were examined. All patients were satisfied with their results. The orbicularis oris muscle provided continuity and preserved good function. In all cases, the operation scar was not visible on the depressed philtral groove on the cleft side. Correction of cleft lip nasal deformity was performed in four patients and alar base advancement was performed in two patients. The advantages of the proposed procedure include the creation of an anatomically natural philtrum without an external visible scar through the intraoral incision, preservation of the continuity and function of the muscle, and sufficient augmentation of the philtral column by the vertical interdigitation of the muscle.  相似文献

Measurements were taken from 18 patients operated on for cleft lip and palate, aged 19 to 27 years, and 162 control subjects matched for sex, age, and ethnic group. Nine soft-tissue landmarks on the lips were digitized by a three-dimensional electromagnetic instrument. From the landmarks, several linear distances (mouth width, philtrum width, vermilion height of upper and lower lip, total vermilion height, total lip height), the interlabial angle, and some areas (vermilion of upper lip, vermilion of lower lip, total vermilion) and volumes (upper lip volume, lower lip volume, total lip volume) were calculated. Patient and reference data were compared by t tests and Watson-Williams tests. In the men, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in width of the philtrum, height and area of the vermilion part of the upper lip, and total vermilion height and area (all larger in male patients than in controls). In the women, significant differences were found in the height and area of the vermilion part of the upper lip (larger in female patients than in controls), and in the height and area of the vermilion part of the lower lip (smaller in patients than in controls). In both sexes, the interlabial angle was smaller than in the reference population. In conclusion, the upper lip of adult patients operated on for cleft lip and palate differed from that of healthy controls of the same age, sex, and ethnic group. Surgical correction of cleft lip and palate failed to provide a completely normal appearance. The analysis pointed out those parts of the lips and mouth (in particular, the vermilion part of the upper lip) that differed the most from the norm. The method may be used to indicate to the surgeon and patient where additional procedures might be performed to approximate the morphologic characteristics of a reference population.  相似文献

Congenital aplasia of the nasal columella is a very rare anomaly. The deformity is characterized by the isolated absence of the columella from the nasal tip to the root of the philtrum, including the medial crura of the alar cartilages; surrounding structures such as the septum, nose, and upper lip are normal. To the best of our knowledge, only four such cases have been described to date. The embryopathogenesis for this uncommon disease is presently unknown. Our report describes a 14-year-old girl with congenital agenesis of the columella as an isolated anomaly. Her family history was positive for the presence of the same congenital deformity, which also affected her older brother; there was, however, no consanguinity between the parents. The columella defect was reconstructed with an internal nasal vestibular skin flap and bilateral upper labial mucosa flaps. There are many techniques available to repair columella defects, including free grafts from the ear, local flaps from the forehead, face, upper lip, and nose, distant flaps such as tube pedicle flaps, and free flaps from the ear. Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages. Because of this, the treatment of columella defects should be individualized.  相似文献

The philtrum in the lip has an important aesthetic significance and is a mark of individual distinction. For patients who have undergone cleft lip surgery, the construction of the philtrum is crucial for restoring a normal appearance to the upper lip. A total of 13 patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformities were treated for the creation of a philtral column between January of 1998 and February of 1999. Eight of the patients were male and five were female with an age range of 10 to 40 years old. The scar on the philtral column is excised and a full-thickness incision is made down to the orbicularis oris muscle and mucosa. The medial and lateral muscle flaps are then exposed and split into two leaves. The two leaves of each muscle flap are sutured together to create a vertical interdigitation. Any excess skin is not excised but rather closed with 7-0 nylon. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 15 months, with an average of 10 months. Ten of 13 patients were satisfied with their good surgical results. Two had fair results. One patient experienced a widening of the scar and no improvement in the philtral column. A possible cause for this lack of improvement was a partial disruption of the interdigitated muscle flaps due to the early active movement of the muscle before wound healing. In conclusion, the advantages of this procedure include the creation of an anatomically natural philtrum through preserving the continuity and function of the muscle, sufficient augmentation of the philtral column by the vertical interdigitation of the muscle, relief of skin tension, and no donor-site morbidity.  相似文献

The femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome is a very rare association of femora and facial abnormalities. The most common features include hypoplasia of the femora and a characteristic facies with a short nose, long philtrum, thin upper lip and micrognathia. Maternal diabetes mellitus has been mainly identified as the causal agent. We reported the first case in a black African and discuss prenatal diagnosis and aetiology.  相似文献

A child with monosomy for the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p25-->pter) and trisomy for the terminal portion of the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q23-->qter) is presented. This unbalanced karyotype was derived from a balanced reciprocal 3p/17q translocation in the phenotypically normal mother. Main clinical features in the proband included growth and mental retardation, hypotonia, hirsutism, micro/brachycephaly, triangular face, synophris, broad and full nose, long philtrum, narrow upper lip, low set, posteriorly turned ears, anteriorly placed anus and congenital heart defect (Tetralogy of Fallot). Most of these clinical manifestations have been constantly reported in previous cases with terminal 3p deletion.  相似文献

One component of the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) facial phenotype is a frontonasal anomaly characterized by a thin upper lip and a smooth philtrum. The expression of this anomaly can diminish with age and occurs infrequently in prenatal alcohol-exposed individuals. This study sought to explain these observations. Standardized craniofacial cephalograms of 18 nonhuman primates exposed weekly to ethanol or sucrose solution in utero were measured at ages 1, 6, 12, and 24 months to assess skeletal changes in craniofacial form with age, cognition, and timing of ethanol exposure. The data suggest that there may be a critical period for induction of alcohol-induced craniofacial alterations that occurs very early in gestation and is very short in duration (gestational days 19 or 20). The alterations were scarcely detectable at age 1 month, were most prominent at 6 months, and diminished progressively at 12 and 24 months in the macaque. The appearance and disappearance of the thin upper lip and smooth philtrum may be explained by underlying changes in skeletal structure with age. The infrequent occurrence of the FAS frontonasal anomaly may be explained, in part, by its short critical period of induction.  相似文献

Large, full-thickness lip defects after head and neck surgery continue to be a challenge for reconstructive surgeons. The reconstructive aims are to restore the oral lining, the external cheek, oral competence, and function (i.e., articulation, speech, and mastication). The authors' refinement of the composite radial forearm-palmaris longus free flap technique meets these criteria and allows a functional reconstruction of extensive lip and cheek defects in one stage. A composite radial forearm flap including the palmaris longus tendon was designed. The skin flap for the reconstruction of the intraoral lining and the skin defect was folded over the palmaris longus tendon. Both ends of the vascularized tendon were laid through the bilateral modiolus and anchored with adequate tension to the intact orbicularis muscle of the upper lip. This procedure was used in 12 patients. Six patients had cancer of the lower lip, five patients had a buccal cancer involving the lip, and one patient had a primary gum cancer that extended to the lower lip. Total to near-total resection (more than 80 percent) of the lower lip was indicated in six patients. In two other patients, the cancer ablation included more than 80 percent of the lower lip and up to 40 percent of the upper lip. A radial forearm palmaris longus free flap was used in all cases for reconstruction of the defect. Free flap survival was 100 percent. At the time of final evaluation, which was 1 year after the operation, all patients had good oral continence at rest (static suspension) and had achieved sufficient oral competence when eating. Ten patients were able to resume a regular diet, and two patients could eat a soft diet. All patients regained normal or near-normal speech and had an acceptable appearance. The described refinement of the composite radial palmaris longus free flap technique allows the reconstruction of the lower lip with a functioning oral sphincter; the technique can be recommended for patients who need large lower lip resection. It provides functional recovery of the reconstructed lower lip synchronizing with the remaining upper lip.  相似文献

The purpose of this retrospective study was to review the method of using the Abbé flap for correction of secondary bilateral cleft lip deformity in selected patients with tight upper lip, short prolabium, lack of acceptable philtral column and Cupid's bow definition, central vermilion deficiency, irregular lip scars, and associated nasal deformity. A total of 39 patients with the bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity received Abbé flap and simultaneous nasal reconstruction during a period of 6 years. Mean patient age at the time of the operation was 19.1 years, and ranged from 6.6 to 38.5 years. The average follow-up period was 1.8 years. Fourteen patients had prior orthognathic operations. The Abbé flap was designed 13 to 14 mm in length and 8 to 9 mm in width and contained full-thickness tissue from the central lower lip, with a slightly narrow reverse-V caudal end. The prolabium, including the scars and central vermilion, was excised. Lengthening procedures of the upper lip segments were performed if vertical deficiency existed. Part of the prolabial skin was preserved and mobilized for columellar elongation, if indicated. Open rhinoplasty was carried out with or without cartilage graft for columella and nasal tip reconstruction. Reduction of the alar width and nostrils was achieved by a Z-plasty or excision of scar tissue at the nostril floor. The Abbé flap was then transposed cephalad, insetting into the median defect and sutured in layers. The results demonstrated no flap problems or perioperative complications. Seven patients needed further minor revisions on the nose and/or lip. Laser treatment was used to improve the lip scars in three patients. The patients were satisfied with the final outcome and found the lower lip scars acceptable. In conclusion, the described technique of Abbé flap and simultaneous rhinoplasty is an effective reconstructive method for select patients with bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity.  相似文献

Bilateral vermilion flaps for lower lip repair   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A more natural reconstructive procedure of the lower lip using bilateral vermilion flaps was applied in five patients with excellent results. The vermilion defects were about two-fifths to three-fifths. In three patients, the vermilion defect was repaired using bilateral vermilion flaps alone. In the remaining two patients, a narrow horizontal lip defect was repaired by bilateral vermilion flaps and a subcutaneous V-Y advancement flap of the lower lip. A single vermilion flap or bilateral vermilion flaps are considered to be of great value for vermilion reconstruction because of the inherent elasticity and common anatomic unit. The postoperative scars are not remarkable at all. A long and narrow horizontal lip defect (perhaps within 1.5 cm downward from the vermilion border) may be effectively repaired by the combination of vermilion flap(s) and a V-Y advancement flap without sacrificing any additional healthy tissue.  相似文献

Free flaps are generally the preferred method for reconstructing large defects of the midface, orbit, and maxilla that include the lip and oral commissure; commissuroplasty is traditionally performed at a second stage. Functional results of the oral sphincter using this reconstructive approach are, however, limited. This article presents a new approach to the reconstruction of massive defects of the lip and midface using a free flap in combination with a lip-switch flap. This was used in 10 patients. One-third to one-half of the upper lip was excised in seven patients, one-third of the lower lip was excised in one patient, and both the upper and lower lips were excised (one-third each) in two patients. All patients had maxillectomies, with or without mandibulectomies, in addition to full-thickness resections of the cheek. A switch flap from the opposite lip was used for reconstruction of the oral commissure and oral sphincter, and a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap with two or three skin islands was used for reconstruction of the through-and-through defect in the midface. Free flap survival was 100 percent. All patients had good-to-excellent oral competence, and they were discharged without feeding tubes. A majority (80 percent) of the patients had an adequate oral stoma and could eat a soft diet. All patients have a satisfactory postoperative result. Immediate reconstruction of defects using a lip-switch procedure creates an oral sphincter that has excellent function, with good mobility and competence. This is a simple procedure that adds minimal operative time to the free-flap reconstruction and provides the patient with a functional stoma and acceptable appearance. The free flap can be used to reconstruct the soft tissue of the intraoral lining and external skin deficits, but it should not be used to reconstruct the lip.  相似文献

Abstract:
Objictive: To investigate the effect of Angle Class Ⅰ malocclusion after orthodontic treatment, with and without extractions on lip position changes. Methods: 30 patients with Angle Class Ⅰ malocclusion were chosen. 15 patients were treated by 4 first-premolars extraction (Group A) and 15 patients were treated without extraction (Group B). The soft tissue X-ray cephalometric of the patients were measured before and after the treatment and compared statistically. Results: After the extraction treatment, the upper and lower projecting lip reduced by 1.42 mm and 2.03, mmrespectively. The length of the upper and lower lips increased by 0.51mm and 1.58mm, respectively. For the group B, the nasolabial angle, the lower lip protrusion, the length of upper and lower lips had been increased, though there had no statistical significance before and after treatment. Conclusions: After extraction treatment the upper and lower projecting lips decreased. The patients with extractment treatment had the facial aesthelics.  相似文献

Prenatal ethanol exposure is the leading preventable cause of congenital mental disability. Whereas a diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) requires identification of a specific pattern of craniofacial dysmorphology, most individuals with behavioral and neurological sequelae of heavy prenatal ethanol exposure do not exhibit these defining facial characteristics. Here, a novel integration of MRI and dense surface modeling-based shape analysis was applied to characterize concurrent face-brain phenotypes in C57Bl/6J fetuses exposed to ethanol on gestational day (GD)7 or GD8.5. The facial phenotype resulting from ethanol exposure depended upon stage of insult and was predictive of unique patterns of corresponding brain abnormalities. Ethanol exposure on GD7 produced a constellation of dysmorphic facial features characteristic of human FAS, including severe midfacial hypoplasia, shortening of the palpebral fissures, an elongated upper lip, and deficient philtrum. In contrast, ethanol exposure on GD8.5 caused mild midfacial hypoplasia and palpebral fissure shortening, a shortened upper lip, and a preserved philtrum. These distinct, stage-specific facial phenotypes were associated with unique volumetric and shape abnormalities of the septal region, pituitary, and olfactory bulbs. By demonstrating that early prenatal ethanol exposure can cause more than one temporally-specific pattern of defects, these findings illustrate the need for an expansion of current diagnostic criteria to better capture the full range of facial and brain dysmorphology in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.  相似文献

Introduction

Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors of the skin and oral mucosa. However, squamous cell carcinoma involving near total upper and lower lip and oral commissure is rarely seen in the English literature. Simultaneous reconstruction of the upper and lower lips has been inconclusive and presents a challenge to the surgeon. We report such a case and outline our simultaneous reconstruction with local flaps. To the best of our knowledge this has never been reported.

Case presentation

A 73-year-old Thai woman presented with a large rapidly growing squamous cell carcinoma involving the upper lip, lower lip, left oral commissure and left cheek. En bloc resection of upper lip, lower lip, left oral commissure and buccal region was performed. Left radical neck dissection and right modified neck dissection were performed. Reconstruction of the upper lip with a left nasolabial-cheek cervicofacial rotational-advancement flap and right cheek advancement with perialar crescent flap was performed. The lower lip was reconstructed with bilateral labiomental advancement flaps.

Conclusions

Squamous cell carcinoma can grow rapidly and spread along the orbicularis oris muscle and across the oral commissure to the opposite lip. In advanced cancer, multimodal treatment is necessary. No gold standard in the reconstruction of both upper and lower lips has been established. We report the case of an advanced squamous cell carcinoma involving both the upper lip, lower lip, left oral commissure and buccal area and simultaneous reconstruction with local flap coverage that, to the best of our knowledge, has never been reported.  相似文献

We report a 12-month-old infant evaluated for severe hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, and facial dysmorphisms, including round face, high prominent forehead, downward slanted palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, short nose, chubby cheeks, long philtrum, anteverted lower lip, low-set asymmetric and dysmorphic ears. Karyotype analysis disclosed an extra mosaic ring chromosome, which included the whole 19p arm. Four additional patients with supernumerary ring 19 chromosomes have been reported, but none of them had pure trisomy 19p.  相似文献

Congenital double lip: a review of seven cases   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Congenital double-lip deformity is an infrequent developmental abnormality affecting the lips, more commonly the upper lip. We report seven cases of double lip, all in males, of which six were in the upper lip and one in the lower lip. It was quite interesting to observe that in the upper lip, the buccal portion of the double lip appeared on either side with a midline constriction; in the lower lip, it was prominent in the midline without any central constriction. Surgical excision under regional nerve block anesthesia gives good results. The embryology, clinical appearances, and histopathology are discussed with a review of the literature.  相似文献

Summary Two infants with dysmorphism and aortic stenosis were trisomic for the distal part of 15q. Similar to seven other published cases, the facial dysmorphism was characteristic: prominent nose, narrow palpebral fissures, slight anti-mongoloïd slant, low-set ears, long upper lip, and a pronounced philtrum. Laboratory studies failed to demonstrate a gene-dose effect for the enzymes coded by chromosome 15 (PK 3 and MPI) and chromosome 21 (SOD 1).  相似文献
