We report median cleft lip in an infant girl with lobar-typed holoprosencephaly who underwent presurgical naso-alveolar molding and subsequent cheiloplasty. At seven months postoperatively, we observed an upper lip with natural cupid-bow-shape formed with a nasal dome and two nostrils separated with reconstructed columella, which were maintained for eight years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
