Presurgical Nasoalveolar Moulding In Neonate With Unilateral Cleft Lip And Palate; As An Early Rehabilitative Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of a neonate with cleft lip and palate and assuring the parents regarding the future well being of the child can be a challenging task. Timely referral by pediatrician and treatment by an Orthodontist and a Plastic Surgeon can help in limiting the deformity to its minimum and aid in normal growth and development of the child. This paper describes the treatment of two neonates with unilateral cleft lip and palate whose treatment were initiated within 24 hours of their birth. Presurgical Nasoalveolar Moulding(PNAM) followed by one stage surgical repair of lip helped us to achieve remarkable results.
