“…In patients with cleft lip and alveolus, facial growth for most angular variables in the maxilla and cranial base has been reported to be within the normal variation (Graber, 1954;Ross and Coupe, 1965;Dahl, 1970;Friede et al, 1986), except for the deviation in the orientation of the anterior nasal spine (Ross and Coupe, 1965;Dahl, 1970). In patients with cleft palate the maxilla is short and retrusive in relation to the cranial base (Shibasaki and Ross, 1969;Dahl, 1970;Bishara and Iversen, 1974;Jonsson and Thilander, 1979;Smahel, 1984;Jakobsson, 1990;Heliövaara and Ranta, 1993).…”

The aim of this study was to characterise the preoperative morphology of the skull in sagittal synostosis in an objective and quantified way. The shapes of the skulls of 105 patients with isolated premature synostosis of the sagittal suture (SS group) were studied and compared with those of a control group of 72 children with unilateral incomplete cleft lip (UICL). A standardised radiocephalometric technique was used to obtain the images. A modification of a method developed by Kreiborg was used to analyse the radiocephalograms, which included the digitisation of 88 landmarks in the calvaria, skull base, and orbit (42 in the lateral and 46 in the frontal projections), the production of plots of mean shape for each group, and the intergroup comparison of a series of 81 variables (linear distance between selected landmarks, and angles defined by groups of three landmarks). Data from a subgroup of 66 patients aged 5 to 8 months were further compared to age-matched normative data in terms of seven angular and linear calvarial, cranial base and orbital variables. In a comparative analysis of the mean lateral plots, the foreheads of the study group (SS) had a more pronounced anterior slope and were also more convex. The vertex area was located more anteriorly, and was less convex. The occipital curvature was more prominent. Analysis of the mean frontal plots revealed a lack in convexity and lateral projection of the upper parietal regions, as well as a lower location of the line of maximum skull width. Comparison of the mean values of an SS subgroup to age-matched normative data showed a longer (p<0.001) and narrower skull (p<0.001) and a greater interorbital distance (p<0.001). The cranial base angle, the sella to nasion, and sella to basion lengths did not differ significantly. Sagittal synostosis is characterised by an extensive deformity of the cranial vault, with an essentially normal cranial base. The widened interorbital distance is probably related to compensatory metopic hyperactivity.

“…Total fetal development of the maxillary arch may be deficient, but research is contradictory. Post partum, antero-posterior facial growth in patients with clefts of the lip and alveolus is within normal range, relative to the cranial base 58 although as with all cleft types there is an increased inter-occular distance 59 . Facial growth differs further in individuals with cleft palate, with a reduction in the degree of forward growth (relative to the cranial base) of the maxilla particularly but also the mandible 59,60 .…”
