  • Title: Cleft nose. Form and function.
    Author: Warren DW, Drake AF.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1993 Oct; 20(4):769-79. PubMed ID: 8275639.
    Abstract:
    Clefts of the lip and palate frequently produce nasal deformities that tend to reduce the size of the nasal airway. Surgical correction of nasal, palatal, and pharyngeal structures may compromise breathing further. A significant number of individuals with cleft noses mouthbreathe to some extent because of the high prevalence of airway compromise.
