The craniofacial complex begins its progress in the fourth week of development, and results from neural crest cells migrating to form and fuse the facial primordia. [9] [10] Failures or deviations in this process result in craniofacial clefts, either CL or CP. [6] The range of variation in phenotype aligns with ancestry.
Cleft lip and palate occurs in about 1 to 2 per 1000 births in the developed world. [2] Cleft lip is about twice as common in males as females, while cleft palate without cleft lip is more common in females. [2] In 2017, it resulted in about 3,800 deaths globally, down from 14,600 deaths in 1990.
A bifid nose (also known as cleft nose) is an uncommon congenital malformation which is characterized by the presence of a cleft between the two nostrils of the nose. [1] It is the result of a disturbance during embryological nose development. [2] It is part of the Tessier classification for craniofacial clefts. [3]
Craniofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty that deals with congenital and acquired deformities of the head, skull, face, neck, jaws and associated structures. Although craniofacial treatment often involves manipulation of bone, craniofacial surgery is not tissue-specific; craniofacial surgeons deal with bone, skin, nerve, muscle, teeth, and other related anatomy.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a surgical specialty focusing on reconstructive surgery of the face, facial trauma surgery, the mouth, head and neck, and jaws, as well as facial plastic surgery including cleft lip and cleft palate surgery.
FaceBase is an NIH-supported initiative that began in September 2009.Funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the FaceBase Consortium is a five-year initiative that systematically compiles the biological instructions to construct the middle region of the human face and precisely define the genetics underlying its common developmental disorders such as cleft lip and ...
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal. It was established in 1964 as the Cleft Palate Journal , obtaining its current title in 1991. [ 1 ] The journal is published by SAGE Publishing on behalf of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association .
