Abstract: OBJETIVOS: descrever a frequência dos tipos de lesão dos portadores de fissura lábio-palatina, verificar a associação entre os fatores demográficos com essas lesões e identificar os fatores associados à idade em que foi realizado o primeiro atendimento médico especializado. MÉTODOS: este é um estudo do tipo série de casos, com 1216 crianças <10 anos portadoras de fissura labial e/ou palatina não sindrômica atendidas no Centro de Atenção aos Defeitos da Face do Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernan… Show more

“…Male gender was one of the first risk factors to be documented for NSCLP (Blanton et al , ). Our results also indicated that the male gender was more prevalent among CLP and CL patients, with nearly twice as many males affected compared to females, corroborating the findings of previous studies conducted in Brazil and in Italy (Carinci et al , ; Coutinho et al , ). Moreover, in this study, we found that the higher prevalence of females among CP patients may be related to the longer period required to close the palate in the developing female fetus.…”

“…In the present study sample, the post-foramen incisor cleft was most frequently observed in the female patients, and the transforamen incisor cleft, in the male patients, a finding that is compatible with those reported in the literature (24,25) . Among the patients with adequate velopharyngeal closure, the sagittal pattern was the most frequent, and the coronal pattern was the least frequently observed.…”

“…In the present study, there was a predominance of patients with transforamen incisor cleft, a fact that is compatible with studies approaching the population of individuals with cleft lip and palate (25) . No case of pre-foramen incisor cleft was observed, since this group of patients generally presents normal velopharyngeal function and therefore is not referred for nasopharyngoscopic evaluation that is the object of the present study.…”

“…Desse modo, as fissuras são classificadas em: pré-forame incisivo, transforame incisivo, pós-forame incisivo e as fissuras raras da face 4 . De acordo com estudos epidemiológicos realizados no Brasil sobre a distribuição das fissuras, verifica-se um predomínio desta deformidade no sexo masculino, sendo o tipo mais frequente o transforame e o lado esquerdo como o de maior comprometimento 1,5,6 . O tratamento desta deformidade envolve uma equipe multidisciplinar formada por médicos (pediatras, cirurgiões plásticos, otorrinolaringologistas, geneticistas), fonoaudiólogos, psicólogos, assistentes sociais e dentistas (odontopediatras, ortodontistas, ortopedistas funcionais, protesistas, cirurgiões bucomaxilofaciais).…”
