An isolated cleft of the palate (whether Veau-I soft palate only or Veau-II hard and soft palate) is a "midline" cleft. A Veau-III cleft may be considered "unilateral," as it is contiguous with a unilateral cleft lip.

May 18, 2020 · The palatal component of orofacial clefts is often described using the Veau classification (Fig. 15‑2). Fig. 15.2 Veau classification of cleft palate. (a) Veau I: Soft palate cleft only. (b) Veau II: Soft and hard palate cleft, posterior to the incisive foramen. (c) Veau III: Unilateral cleft lip and palate, through alveolus, hard, and soft ...

We advise our modification to achieve the goals of palatal repair in difficult cases of Veau II incomplete cleft where tension-free closure would otherwise be achieved with more complex flap surgical procedures, such as free microvascular tissue transfer.

Veau described Four Types of Cleft Group I: Cleft of the soft palate only. Group II: Cleft of the hard and soft palate to the incisive foramen. Group III: Complete unilateral cleft of the soft and hard palate, and the lip and alveolar ridge on one side. …

The Veau-Wardill-Kilner technique was one of the first combined variations in the early 1900s, which combined Veau’s unipedicle mucoperiosteal flap for hard palate closure with Wardill-Kilner’s V-Y pushback approach to lengthen the soft palate (Fig. 5).

Mar 28, 2023 · With the most common and most dreaded complication following palate repair being development of oronasal fistula, the water-tight and tension-free closure of both the oral and nasal layers of the anterior palate is necessary. 1,3 The authors present 2 cases of patients with wide Veau class II cleft palates in which a novel bipedicled anterior ...

Jan 18, 2025 · Unilateral (Veau III clefts) or bilateral (Veau II and IV clefts) mucoperiosteal vomer flaps, which are based on the ethmoidal arteries, are then elevated in a subperiosteal plane with a periosteal elevator (see Fig. 8B).

According to Veau, there are four types of cleft palate, including: class I: cleft only in the soft palate; class II: cleft in the soft and hard palate; class III: cleft in the soft and hard...

Apr 14, 2015 · The Veau system specifically classifies cleft palate and is intuitively based on anatomy (Figure 12.4). It classifies the four subtypes of cleft palate as follows: I is a cleft of the soft palate only, II is a cleft of the soft and part of the hard palate, III is a complete unilateral cleft of the palate and alveolus, and IV is a complete ...

Nov 16, 2022 · The most frequently adopted classification systems were the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10; 35.5%), LAHSHAL (34.0%), Veau (32.5%), and Kernahan’s striped-Y (22.8%) classification systems.
