EthunandanAbstractVascular lesions mainly affect soft tissues, and less than 1% affect bone. In 1982, they were categorised by Mulliken and Glowacki as haemangiomas or vascular malformations, and an updated classification was subsequently published by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies. These lesions,...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate pre-operative nutritional status, associated syndromes and abnormalities, and post-operative outcomes of patients with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) versus those with non-syndromic isolated cleft palate (CIP). Methods: Between January 1995 and December 2013, patients with a cleft palate Veau I-II according to the Veau classification with and without PRS who underwent primary repair were retrospectively analyzed. The nutrition status, age at...

Excisions of scalp nevus sebaceous (NS) presents a unique challenge due to limited soft tissue laxity, hair-bearing skin, and convex surfaces which often leave the surgeon and patient underwhelmed with the reconstructive outcome. In this study, the authors conducted an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of patients who underwent excision of pathologically proven scalp primary NS from 2003 to 2017 at our institution to better define the reconstructive outcomes and options for...

Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures that results in an abnormal skull shape. This condition has been associated with cognitive problems of different levels of severity in all developmental stages in a substantial percentage of children. However, the study of behavioral problems related to this condition has been scarce. The objective of this study was to determine if a sample of Mexican preschoolers with non-syndromic craniosynostosis had more clinical and adaptive...

Background: Because the traditional technique is known to cause visible scarring, it is challenging to yield optimal outcomes while treating a severe type of microform and minor-form cleft lip. The authors present a new refined technique with minimal skin incision and philtrum formation through an intraoral incision. Methods: The surgical technique involves single Z-plasty or double or triple unilimb Z-plasty to restore an elevated cupid's bow peak and overlapping of an orbicularis oris muscle...

Objectives: To get and analyze the metric data of zygomatic region for the plasty of zygoma. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 dry skulls in Chinese Han population were randomly collected and measured. The metrical data were divided into 4 parts, including the relative position of contour height of zygomatic bone, the relative prominence of zygomatic bone, the relative prominence of zygomatic arch, and the angle of the zygomatic bone and arch. Results: The measurements in the 4 parts...

Purpose: To explore an alternative approach to evaluate velopharyngeal function on those speakers with compensatory misarticulation. Method: Nasopharyngeal endoscopy was used to observe the velopharyngeal movement on 26 adult Mandarin speakers during articulation and different nonverbal state, including SCPS, DCPS, and ABS. Results: There were significant differences for the rate of velopharyngeal incompetence (RVPI) among the 4 different states. The RVPI was least for the Articulation...

Background: Nevus is very common; however, melanoma is slightly related to the deterioration of nevus because of its vulnerability to solarization, friction, aging, heredity, and other factors. Early diagnosis is essential for melanoma treatment, since patients have a high survival rate with early detection and treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis has been applied in the differential diagnosis of melanoma and benign nevi and achieved high accuracy, but it does not suit the screening of nevi because...
