The objective of the present study was to evaluate the state of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in the children presenting with congenital cleft of upper lip and palate (CLP). A total of 23 children at the age from 9 to 16 years who had undergone the surgical treatment of the above malformations during the first year of life were examined. The comprehensive study including routine ENT examination, endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, and computed tomography has demonstrated that 50% of the patients with congenital cleft of upper lift and palate suffered the deflection of the nasal septum associated with hyperplasia of inferior turbinal bones. The children with congenital cleft of upper lip and palate were characterized by enhanced pneumatization of the anterior end of the middle turbinate despite the absence of well apparent differences between their paranasal sinuses and those of the healthy children, with the degree of pneumatization being consistent with the patient's age in both groups.
本研究的目的是评估患有先天性唇腭裂（CLP）的儿童的鼻腔和鼻窦状况。对23名年龄在9至16岁之间、在出生后第一年接受过上述畸形手术治疗的儿童进行了检查。包括常规耳鼻喉检查、鼻腔和鼻咽内镜检查以及计算机断层扫描在内的综合研究表明，50%的先天性唇腭裂患者存在鼻中隔偏曲并伴有下鼻甲骨质增生。患有先天性唇腭裂的儿童的特征是中鼻甲前端气化增强，尽管他们的鼻窦与健康儿童的鼻窦之间没有明显差异，但两组的气化程度均与患者年龄相符。
