Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

One of the most common craniofacial malformations observed in newborn babies is cleft lip and palate (CLP). This syndrome presents with some anatomic variations. The aim of this study was to understand an anatomic variation of the crista galli that had not been reported previously in patients with CLP. A 17-year-old boy with CLP was referred to an orthodontic clinic for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging before treatment. Axial and coronal sections and three-dimensional images showed that the crista galli had bifid heads that were attached to each other. Incomplete ossification had resulted in a bifid crista galli and the appearance of a suture in the anterior coronal section of the CBCT images. This anatomic variation could allow penetration of the anterior fossa during endoscopic surgery, which could be dangerous for the patient.
