introduction: tessier facial cleft is among the rarest facial clefts reported in literatures and there are many issues arguing about its multidisciplinary repairing techniques. tessier number 4 and 5 are extremely rare facial anomalies. there are few literatures describing these clefts and their surgical modalities. number 5 tessier cleft begins medial to oral commissure in the upper lip and ex...

Neurocognitive disorders may compromise the outcome of surgical cleft lip palate repair and thus need to be identified. Processing of rapidly changing sequential information (temporal processing) is a fundamental neurocognitive capacity that may contribute to various communication functions and has been found impaired in several developmental disorders. The occurrence of temporal processing dif...

IgA pemphigus is a newly characterized group of autoimmune intraepidermal blistering diseases presenting as vesiculopustular eruptions with a predilection in axillary and groin areas. Immunopathologically, IgA deposition in the intercellular space of the epidermis is present in all cases of IgA pemphigus by direct immunofluorescence. However, unlike pemphigus vulgaris, IgA pemphigus carries a r...

TNPM presents as subcorneal or intraepidermal pustules composed mainly of neutrophils; this finding helps to differentiate TNPM from NTE, in which there is a predominance of eosinophils. In conclusion, we must be aware that TNPM is a benign condition with no systemic manifestations and it does not require treatment. This entity can be confused with serious infections, and patients with TNPM may...

The development of the dental arches in children with oral clefts differs from that in a normal population, due to the type and extension of the cleft, surgical procedure and timing, and decreased growth potential. The size of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and the amount of interdental space in 3-year-old, cleft-affected and non-cleft children was investigated. Fifty non-cleft (NON...

Median cleft of lower lip and mandible is a rare congenital anomaly described as cleft number 30 of Tessier's classification. In minor forms only lower lip cleft is seen. We report the case of a patient with median cleft of lower lip, severe ankyloglossia, cleft of mandibular symphysis, and residual cleft involving on right soft palate and associated with other facial clefts. These deformities ...

Cleft lip and cleft palate has got a high incidence in Asian births. There are different techniques for closure of the cleft. The furlows double opposing Z-plasty repair of cleft palate was first described by Leonard Furlow in 1978. Here we present 2 case of cleft palate treated with Furlows double opposing Zplasty.

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD), is rare, chronic, and relapsing pustuler eruption. Mostly, it affects middle-aged elderly women. Mucosal involvement extremely rare. Here we report a 31-year-old woman with generalized SPD lip involvement. The patient had annular or serpiginous patterned well-demarcated plaques on the trunk, intertriginous areas flexor aspects of limbs, palmoplantar areas, ...

basal encephalocele is a rare craniofacial anomaly. in the present paper we report a 10-year-old boy presented with cleft palate, congenital nystagmus, and hypertelorism. during preoperative evaluation for cleft palate repair, a pulsatile mass was detected in the pharynx. magnetic resonance imaging showed sphenoethmoidal type of basal encephalocele and agenesis of corpus callosum. neurosurgical...
