Cleft Palate J. 1982 Oct;19(4):258-66.
The craniofacial morphology was compared in 30 infants with incomplete left-sided cleft lip and 30 infants with isolated cleft palate. Cephalometric radiographs were obtained prior to any surgical management at 2-3 months of age in the lateral, anteroposterior and axial projections. Compared to the cleft lip group, the infants with isolated cleft palate showed the following characteristics: short anterior cranial base, short maxilla, reduced posterior maxillary height, reduced dimensions of the mandible--especially mandibular length--, narrow naso- and oropharyngeal airway. The cleft lip group had larger interorbital width and symmetry deviations in the anterior art of the maxilla. It was concluded that already at two months of age and prior to any surgical interference significant differences in craniofacial morphology distinguished the group with clefts of the secondary palate from the group with clefts of the primary palate.
对30例左侧不完全性唇裂婴儿和30例孤立性腭裂婴儿的颅面形态进行了比较。在2 - 3个月龄进行任何手术治疗之前，获取了侧位、前后位和轴位的头颅侧位片。与唇裂组相比，孤立性腭裂婴儿表现出以下特征：前颅底短、上颌骨短、上颌后部高度降低、下颌骨尺寸减小——尤其是下颌长度——、鼻和口咽气道狭窄。唇裂组眶间宽度较大，上颌前部存在对称性偏差。得出的结论是，在两个月龄且在任何手术干预之前，颅面形态的显著差异就已将继发腭裂组与原发腭裂组区分开来。
