OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of anatomical variation in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses by comparing a unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) group with a non-syndromic control group using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study included 24 UCLP patients in the UCLP group and 24 non-syndromic patients in the control group. Coronal CBCT images were taken in all patients and were evaluated for anatomical variation. The measurements obtained in this study were analysed using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests to compare the two groups statistically. RESULTS: In the UCLP group, there were statistically lower frequencies of pterygoid process pneumatisation (p <0.05), higher wing pneumatisation (p < 0.05), and sphenoid sinus over pneumatisation (p < 0.05), and statistically higher frequencies of anterior nasal septal deviation (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: A higher incidence of anterior nasal septal deviation was found in UCLP patients compared to the patients in the control group. It is likely that for this reason, UCLP patients might be predisposed to sinusitis. In UCLP patients, the incidence of neurovascular structures in the sphenoid sinus was lower than that in non-syndromic control patients (Tab. 1, Fig. 6, Ref. 33). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

“…These differences may lead to numerous impairments, potentially affecting the health of the ear, nose and throat. Sinus disease, mainly sinusitis, is frequently noted in CLP patients [1][2][3]; this highlights the importance of the maxillary sinus, as a major component of the midface and the need of a better understanding of its role in the developmental process and also in the disease.…”

“…Jaffe and DeBlanc reported, for instance, a high incidence of sinusitis in subjects with CP [3]. Analyzing the mucociliary clearance of the nasal cavity by the saccharin test, Ishikawa et al [5,6] found a higher saccharin time in CP patients compared to non-CP patients and a lower ciliary beating frequency measured by a photoelectric method. These Nasal mucus transportability in children 583 results led them to conclude that the higher prevalence of sinusitis in their patients with CP was caused by mucociliary impairment.…”

“…Ishikawa et al found in two consecutive studies, a decreased mucociliary transport evaluated by the saccharin transport time test and a lower ciliary beating frequency evaluated by a photoelectric method in patients with cleft lip and palate [5,6]. These findings suggest that mucociliary clearance impairment may be a mechanism involved in the genesis of the increased upper airway infections associated with CP.…”
