Nasal morphology was assessed three-dimensionally in 18 cleft lip and palate operated patients aged 19 to 27 years, and in 161 sex- and age-matched control subjects. Comparisons were performed by Student t and Watson-Williams' tests. No differences were found in nasal volume or surface. Nasal width, alar base width, and inferior width of the nostrils were significantly larger in male patients than in the reference men. The nasal bridge was shorter. Similar differences were found in the female patients. In addition, the right nostril was larger and the nasal height shorter. In men, the nasolabial and the nasal tip angles were smaller in the patients than in the reference subjects, whereas the facial convexity angle was larger in the patients. In conclusion, the nose of adult operated cleft lip and palate patients differed from that of normal control subjects. Surgical corrections of the cleft lip and palate failed to provide a completely normal appearance. The methods might be used to indicate where additional procedures might be performed to approximate a reference population.
对18名年龄在19至27岁之间接受唇腭裂手术的患者以及161名性别和年龄匹配的对照者进行了鼻形态的三维评估。采用学生t检验和沃森 - 威廉姆斯检验进行比较。在鼻腔容积或表面积方面未发现差异。男性患者的鼻宽、鼻翼基底宽度和鼻孔下缘宽度显著大于对照男性。鼻梁较短。女性患者也发现了类似的差异。此外,右侧鼻孔较大,鼻高较短。在男性中,患者的鼻唇角和鼻尖角比对照者小,而面部凸度角在患者中较大。总之,成年唇腭裂手术患者的鼻子与正常对照者不同。唇腭裂的手术矫正未能提供完全正常的外观。这些方法可用于指示在何处可能需要额外的手术来接近参考人群。
