唇腭裂患者常伴有不同程度的上颌后缩,自身发育不足、功能性及医源性的因素均能引起上颌骨发育受限。我们对唇腭裂患者的颅底形态、上颌骨形态、上颌骨与颅底的关系,以及引起上颌后缩的原因进行综述。

The patients with cleft lip and palate have different degrees of maxillary retrusion. Intrinsic developmental deficiency as well as functional and iatrogenic factors often result in the inhibition of maxillary growth. In this paper, the morphology of cranial base and the maxillary complex, the relative position of the maxilla to the cranial base, and the reasons leading to the maxillary retrusion were reviewed.
