[The anthropometric and functional characteristics of the nasal cartilage in children with congenital cleft upper lip and palate in the late period following rhinocheilopasty].

Based on anthropometric measurements, a classification of the severity of secondary deformations of the nasal cartilagenous portion of the nose in children with cleft lip and palate is suggested; cheiloplasty was carried out by various methods in these children 6 to 24 months prior to measurements. Working schemes of these disorders are given and regularities in the development of secondary deformations established.
