  • Title: Neonatal palatal cysts and their morphology in cleft lip and palate.
    Author: Richard BM, Qiu CX, Ferguson MW.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 2000 Oct; 53(7):555-8. PubMed ID: 11000069.
    Abstract:
    Palatal cysts (Epstein pearls) are occasionally noticed as white papules on the palatal mucosa of a neonate whilst having its 6-week postnatal check. We describe five cleft patients and the distribution characteristics of their palatal cysts, including the previously unrecorded observation of a submucous cleft palate with a double row of palatal cysts, one row on each side of the zona pellucida. The role of spatial morphology of palatal cysts in interpreting cleft pathogenesis is discussed.
