We report the cases of two female patients in their twenties who had had corrective surgery for bilateral cleft lip and palate as babies. They had both had residual palatal fistulas and had had further treatment that required repeated dental impressions. Several years later both had complained of persistent nasal discomfort and discharge, and routine clinical examination and investigations had failed to identify the cause. Full examination of the whole nasal cavity under general anaesthesia, in both cases, showed the presence of displaced dental impression material in the nasal floor. Removal resulted in complete resolution of symptoms.
我们报告了两名二十多岁女性患者的病例，她们在婴儿时期接受了双侧唇腭裂矫正手术。她们都有腭部瘘管残留，并接受了进一步治疗，这需要反复取牙印模。几年后，两人都抱怨持续的鼻腔不适和分泌物增多，常规临床检查和调查未能找出原因。在全身麻醉下对两名患者的整个鼻腔进行全面检查，结果显示鼻底存在移位的牙印模材料。取出该材料后症状完全缓解。
