Secondary cleft deformities.
Cleft palate fistulas are an unfortunate complication that may follow repair of a cleft palate. The presenting symptoms may be variable, and a full evaluation is necessary to identify which symptoms are directly attributable to the fistula. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended when formulating a treatment plan, which takes into consideration symptomatology, speech, growth, dentition, aesthetics, and individual medical and psychosocial needs.
