Cleft palate with lateral oral synechiae presenting in late childhood: An extreme rarity (original) (raw)

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2015

Abstract

Congenital lateral oral synechia is a very rare anomaly which may be present in association with cleft palate and other facial abnormalities. Infants with lateral oral synechiae usually present very early in the neonatal period with restricted mouth opening and the resultant feeding difficulty, warranting early operative intervention. In the present article the authors report a 12-year-old child with lateral oral synechiae and cleft palate, presenting in late childhood and managed successfully by single-stage surgical correction.
