CAYCEDO, Diego-José; CABAL, Marcela  e  GUARIN-SASTRE, David-Enrique. Surgical reconstructive approach in a case of complex palatine duplication. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.1, pp.47-52. ISSN 1989-2055.

The palatine duplication is an uncommon congenital malformation of the craniofacial skeleton that is frequently associated to craniofacial malformations of different grades of severity. A case of palatine duplication associated to a rare craniofacial cleft, the planning and the surgical approach is presented. 3D reconstruction tomography images were used to guide the surgical planning. A wedge resection of both medial palatal arches with medial displacement were done. The highly disrupted maxillary anatomy made the reconstruction planning a surgical challenge. The wedge resection successfully achieves a single and anatomical palate. The postoperative follow shown no complications and the desired occlusion was obtained.
