R. Roddi et D. Krastinovalolov, MASK LIFTING IN ORTHOMORPHIC FACIAL CORRECTION OF BILATERAL CLEFT-PALATE, Annals of plastic surgery, 33(6), 1994, pp. 589-594
In bilateral cleft palate patients, abnormal obliquity and narrowness
of orbits are noted on radiographs, computed tomographic scans, and ma
gnetic resonance imaging investigations. Deformity of bony structures
(increase in transverse length) is sometimes associated with malpositi
on of eyelids, which results in a typical antimongoloid facies. Five p
atients were treated, and we report our series to illustrate the probl
em and its correction using the ''mask-lift'' procedure, initially des
cribed by Tessier and Krastinova.
