| dc.description.abstract | A 1-year-old neutered male, Miniature Schnauzer was referred to Cornell’s Dentistry and Oral Surgery service for repair of a cleft palate. The preoperative evaluation, which included a conscious orofacial examination and a head computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the presence of a congenital palatal defect. As the CT revealed the presence of a complete and bilateral cleft of the secondary palate, a staged reconstruction was planned. Consequently, several teeth were first extracted to allow for additional soft tissue utilization and mobilization, and to decrease overall soft tissue tension. Approximately 8 weeks later, the surgical repair of the cleft palate was performed utilizing releasing incisions and undermining for the soft palate and a mucoperiosteal flap and a releasing incision for the hard palate. The patient recovered uneventfully, but did develop a small oro nasal fistula as a result of a focal dehiscence. After a discussion with the owner, it was elected to proceed without any further surgery. This paper reviews this patient’s case, as well as the suspected etiologies, patho-anatomy, clinical signs, surgical treatments, and prognosis for patients with cleft palate. | en_US |
