CRANIOFACIAL CLEFTS AND HYPERTELORBITISM TESSIER CLASSIFICATION The Tessier classification for rare craniofacial clefts links clinical observations with underlying skeletal deformities seen with preoperative 3D computed tomography (CT} scan imaging and confirmed during surgery. o In the Tessier classification, clefts are numbered from 0 to 14 (Figure 26.2}. o The eyelids and orbits are designated as the horizontal axis of this functional system dividing the face into upper and lower hemispheres. o The orbit separates the facial clefts (0 through 7; going from medial to lateral) from the cranial clefts (8 through 14; going from lateral to medial). o In many cases, the facial clefts extend into the cranium in predictable lines to form combination cranial and facial clefts, including 0 and 14, 1 and 13, 2 and 12, 3 and 11, 4 and 10, 5 and 9, and 6 and 8. o…
Cleft lip is a separation in one or both sides of the lip that is present at birth. Early in the development of the baby inside the mother, the left and right sides of the face and the roof of the mouth join together or “fuse.” If the two sides do not come together correctly, an opening in the lip may occur. This opening can be on just one side of the face, called a unilateral cleft, or on both sides of the face, called a bilateral cleft. A cleft lip that goes up to the nose is called a complete…
palate due to increased growth. When these processes completely fuse, they form the final palate, including the hard and soft palate, during the twelfth week. Failure of fusion of the palatal shelves with the primary palate and or with each other results in cleft palate. It may involve only the soft palate or may extend through to the hard palate. Aetiology of cleft lip and palate CLP may be caused by single mutant genes, chromosomal aberrations, specific environmental agents, and the…
“They did a beautiful job on your face, you can’t even see the scar now” is one of the most common things I have heard after telling anyone that I had a cleft lip and palate. When I was born I had a cleft lip and a cleft palate. This is a congenital split in the upper lip on one or both sides of the center, and a cleft palate is a congenital split in the roof of the mouth. The meaning to me is to be in the hospital many times, specifically eleven times just for major surgeries. It also meant…

Based off of this scan, templates made up of numbers are created and then compared to other templates. Face identification has been beaten by holding up photographs of authorized personnel. An additional discovery was that disguises work less often than facial weight gain or loss to disrupt the system. Question 2. The main ethical issues of biometric technology are personal privacy violations, protection and use of personal data, and conflicting beliefs and values with objectification of the…
