Cleft lip and palate often cause nasal deformities, reducing airway size. This can lead to mouth breathing due to compromised nasal passages, impacting overall respiratory function.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Medicine

Background:

  • Cleft lip and palate frequently result in nasal deformities.
  • These deformities often lead to a reduced nasal airway size.
  • Surgical interventions for clefts can further compromise breathing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between cleft-related nasal deformities and airway compromise.
  • To understand the prevalence of mouth breathing in individuals with cleft lip and palate.
  • To highlight the impact of surgical correction on nasal airway function.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on cleft lip and palate.
  • Analysis of patient data regarding nasal structure and respiratory function.

  • Correlation of surgical procedures with airway patency.

    • Main Results:

    • Nasal deformities are a common consequence of cleft lip and palate.
    • Significant airway compromise is prevalent in individuals with cleft noses.
    • A substantial number of patients with clefts exhibit mouth breathing behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Nasal airway compromise is a frequent issue in cleft lip and palate patients.
    • Mouth breathing is a compensatory mechanism for reduced nasal airway.
    • Further research is needed to optimize surgical outcomes for nasal airway function.
