Abstract

We present the novel use of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate cleft palate morphology and levator veli palatini (LVP) anatomy immediately before and after palatoplasty. A 4-year-old with Robin Sequence and a large palatal fistula underwent secondary repair with intraoperative imaging. Pre- and postoperative MRIs revealed increased LVP length (57.25-64.6 mm), thickness (4.25-7.2 mm), and velar length (10.46-29.0 mm), demonstrating improved muscular cohesion. Application of intraoperative MRI offers objective, real-time assessment of velopharyngeal structures, providing the potential to refine anatomical understanding and guide surgical decision-making for complex cases.

术中MRI对腭裂修复中提腭Veli的定量分析。

我们介绍了术中磁共振成像（MRI）的新应用，以评估腭裂形态学和提腭veli （LVP）解剖在腭成形术前后的立即。一名患有Robin序列和大腭瘘的4岁儿童接受了术中成像的二次修复。术前和术后mri显示LVP长度增加（57.25-64.6 mm），厚度增加（4.25-7.2 mm），筋膜长度增加（10.46-29.0 mm），表明肌肉粘连改善。术中MRI的应用提供了客观、实时的舌咽部结构评估，为完善解剖理解和指导复杂病例的手术决策提供了可能。
