Abstract:
Cleft lip and palate deformities are usually accompanied by abnormal external nasal morphology which seriously affects facial aesthetics and quality of life. In-depth understanding of the growth pattern of external nasal morphology in patients with cleft lip and palate is essential for deciding the optimal timing of surgical intervention and for furthering improvements in surgical technique. In this review we systematically depict the cross-sectional changes in external nose morphology during growth in the normal population and in patients with clefts, and summarise the iatrogenic impacts on growth of the cleft nose, aiming to provide a reference to further improve the management of the nose in patients with clefts.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
