Diagnostic Potential of Complementation of MRI to Prenatal Ultrasound for Detecting Orofacial Clefts in High-Risk Fetuses: A Network Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: MRI is more accurate than ultrasound in detecting cleft palate. Therefore, MRI should be offered if there is a fetus with a possible or ultrasound diagnosis of cleft palate, especially if the evaluation of cleft palate is deemed unsatisfactory after careful evaluation of the images.PMID:38490217 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241231119 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Is There Utility in Preoperative Testing of Hemoglobin Before Primary Cheiloplasty?
CONCLUSIONS: Post-operative complications are rare after primary cheiloplasty in patients with low or normal hemoglobin levels. The results of this study show that a preoperative hemoglobin of <10 g/dL does not predict perioperative complications in patients undergoing primary cheiloplasty.PMID:38490220 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241239510 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Can MRI Replace Nasopharyngoscopy in the Evaluation of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency?
CONCLUSIONS: In patients receiving MRI as part of their preoperative VPI evaluation, the addition of nasopharyngoscopy did not result in a difference in surgical selection or resolution of hypernasality. Routine inclusion of nasopharyngoscopy may not be necessary for the evaluation of velopharyngeal anatomy when MRI is available.PMID:38490221 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241239459 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

“Should Pediatric Septal Surgery and Septorhinoplasty Be Performed for Nasal Obstruction?”—A Systematic Review of the Literature
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2219-9266Corrective septal surgery for children with nasal obstruction has historically been avoided due to concern about the impact on the growing nose, with disruption of midfacial growth. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating complication and revision rates post-nasal septal surgery in the pediatric population. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that failure to treat nasal obstruction in children may itself result in facial deformity and/or developmental delay. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of septal surgery in pediatric patients...

A Longitudinal Analysis of Pre- and Post-Operative Dysmorphology in Metopic Craniosynostosis
CONCLUSIONS: MSS quantifies overcorrection and normalization of head shape, as patients with negative values were less "metopic" than normal postoperatively and approached 0 at 2-year follow-up. CMD worsened postoperatively due to postoperative bony changes associated with surgical displacements following FOA. All patients had similar postoperative metopic dysmorphology, with no significant association with preoperative severity. More severe patients had worse longitudinal dysmorphology, reinforcing that regression to the metopic shape is a postoperative risk which increases with preoperative severity.PMID:38483822 | DOI:1...

Tranexamic Acid: Safeguarding Children with Craniosynostosis from Bleeding. A Review Article

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCraniosynostosis is a congenital condition characterized by the premature closure of one or more sutures in the skull after birth, often necessitating urgent surgical intervention. Nevertheless, cranial vault reconstruction surgery can cause rapid and massive blood loss. This procedure requires a blood transfusion, which entails potential hazards. In addition, the hemostatic system in children differs significantly from that in adults, resulting in increased bleeding during surgical procedures. We conducte...

Preoperative Velopharyngeal Closure Predicts Hypernasality Outcomes of Secondary Furlow Double-Opposing Z-Plasty
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative VCP was significantly associated with improved hypernasality ratings postoperatively. A preoperative VCP of ≥55% may be used to help predict success of Furlow palatoplasty treatment. Patients with lower VCP can still benefit from secondary DOZP.PMID:38483817 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241237422 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

The heterogeneous genetic architectures of orofacial clefts

OFCs occur across a phenotypic spectrum - including cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), or cleft palate (CP) - and can be further subdivided based on laterality, severity, or specific structures affected. Herein we review what is known about the genetic architecture underlying each of these subtypes, considering both shared and subtype-specific risks. While there are more known genetic similarities between CL and CLP than CP, recent research...
