| Abstract: | The aim of this retrospective study was to correlate the width of the cleft lip with the severity of the nasal deformity in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients before primary lip repair. Preoperative impression casts were made. Measurements were taken of the width of the cleft lip (CW), nose (NW), and nasal floor (NFW), alar base height (ABH), columella length (CL), nasal length (NL) and nasal tip protrusion (NTP). The ratio of the non-cleft side (NFW) to the cleft side (NFWR), the ratio of the non-cleft side (ABH) to the cleft side (ABHR), and the ratio of the cleft side (CL) to the non-cleft side (CLR) were calculated. The average NW, NL and CW were higher in the group with complete clefts. There was a negative linear relationship between CW and NFWR, and a positive linear relationship between CW and ABHR in the complete group. In the incomplete group, negative correlations were obtained between CW and NFWR and between CW and ABHR. These findings show that there are correlations between CW and the transverse and vertical imbalance of nose in both groups but not between CW and anteroposterior imbalance of nose. |
