cleft lip and palate
birth defects occur in 6th to 10th week of preg bones and tissues of baby's upper jaw nose and mouth don't fuse together to form rof of mouth and upper lip
what happens when there isn't enough tissue in developing mouth and palate
won't fuse together could be born with partial incomplete cleft palate or complete cleft palate
babies born with cleft lip have
gap or opening in skin of upper lip
incomplete cleft palate
an opening in only the soft palate in back of roof of mouth
complete cleft palatwe occurs
front part of roof on moueteh hard palate and soft palate haven't fused togwether
many cases baby born with complete cleft palate also has
cleft lip
nasal congestion stuffiness or obstruction to nasal breathing is
one of man's oldest and most common complaints
as age progresses there is a tendency for the septum
to bend to one side or the other oer foer an irregular shelf of cartilage or bone to develop SEPTAL SPUR
often ther is no history of injury to account for
irregular septum
septum loses its midline position during
growth process sometimes septum is bent as result of birth trauma
during childhood or adult life trauma
plays a major factor in producing septal deviation
45 pescent of normael adults
snore at least occasionally
25 percent habitual snorers
problem snoring is more ferequent in
males and overweight persons grows worse with age
snoring sounds caused
obstruction to free flow of air through passages at back of mouth and nose
adverse medical effects of snoring and association with
OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA OSA
UPPER AIRWAY RESISTANCE SYNDROME UARS
some methods used to alleviaete snoring and/or OSA
behaviore modificdation sleep positioning continuous positive airway pressure CPAP\
uvulopalataophayngoplast UPPP
laser assisted uvula palatoplast LAUP
and jaw adjustment techniques
what is continuous positive airway pressure CPAP
delivers air into airway through specially designed nasal mask or pillows
mask does not breathe for you flow of air creates enough pressiure when inhaled to keep airway open
CPAP considered most effective nonsurgical treatment for alleviation of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
sleep apnea
loud snoring interrupeted by frequent episodes of totally obstructed breathing
serious episodes last
more than 10 seconds more thakn seven times aen hour 30-300 events per night
episodes of sleep apnea can
reduce blood oxygen levels heart pumps harder snorer must sleep light and keep muscles tense keep aiflow to lungs
what thappens when snorer does not get good nights rest
be sleepy during day impairs job performance makes hazaerdous driver after many years elevated blood pressure and heart enlargement
LAUP
laser assisted uevula palatoplasty removing obstruction in airway outpatient local vaporize uvula and specified portion of paelate in series of small procedures
performed while positioned in upright sitting position in exam chair
injection snoreplasy
nonsurgical treatment involves injection of haerdening agent into upper palate
may reduce loudness and incidence of primary snoring without apnea or cessation of breathe
tonsils and adenoids
masses of tissue similar to lymph nodes or glands found in neck groin and armpits
tonsils
2 masses on back of throat
adenoids
high in throat behind nose and roof of mouth soft palate noet visiblwe without spewciaql instruments
tonsillitis
unususal for tonsils to touch or meet without protrusion of tongue
when tonsils meet in midline or overlap
called kissing tonsils
tonsils and adenoids are near
entrance to breathing passages catch incoming germs which cause infections sample bactereia and viruses and can become infected
scientists believe
they work as part of body's immune system by filtering germs attempt to invade body aend help develop antibodies to germs
most common problems affecting tonsils and adewnoids
recurrent infections throaet or ear significant enlargement or obstrucion causes breathing and swallowing problems
aebscesses around tonsils chronic tonsillitis and infewctions of small pockets within tonsils produce
foul-smelling cheese-like formationsaffect tonsils and adenoids sore swollen
tumors
are rare but can grow on tonsils
2 common surgeries to relieve problems
tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
rhinitis
inflammation of nasal mucous membrane
symptoms rhinitis
sneezing runny itchy nose caused by irritation and congestion in nose
2 types rhinitis
allergic non-allergic
allergic rhinitis
immune system over-responds to specific non-infecious particles plant pollens molds dust mites animal hair idustrial chemicals foods meds insect venom
during allergic attack
antibodies immunoglobulin E lgE attach to mast cells releases histamine in lungs skin and mucous membranes
once lgE connects with mast cells
number of chems released histamine opens blood vessels and causes skin redness and swollen membranes sneezing and congestion result
seasonal allergic rhinitis
hayfever ocuurs in late siummere or spring hypersensitivity ragweed not hay primary cause
75 percent americans
tree pollen symptoms in late March or early April
mold spores occurs in Octobere and November falling leaves
perennial allergic rhinitis
year-round sensitivity to pet hair mold on wallpapere houseplants carpeting upholstery auto engine emissiions aggravate allergic rhiniteis
bacteria Staphylococcus aureus
in nasal passages of patients year round allergic rhinits may lead to higher bacterial levels creating condition worsens allergies
if facial pain or greenish yellow nasal dischcarge occurs
qualified ear nose throat specialist probide appropriate sinusitis treatment
non-allergic rhinitis
no presence of lgE not allergic reaction
triggered by cigarette smoke other pollutants strong odors alcoholic bevs and cold blockages in nose deviated septum infections over use of meds decongestants
