Abstract
Cleft palate is a congenital condition that occurs with the incidence rate of one out of 2000 births. This anomaly produces intraoral pressure changes (increase or decrease), can cause speech, sucking and feeding problems of involved patient. On the other hand, if cleft palate is associated with cleft of the lip or alveolar area, growth and alignment of teeth may change the appearance of the patient and affect the psychologic and occupational future of the patient. Eustatian tube malfunction in involved neonates increase. Many procedures are used to repair the cleft palate and correction of palatal muscles which are: 1) Von Langenbeck (18.5%). 2) Veau-Wardil-Kilner (72.5%). 3) Double opposing Z-Plasty (9%). In this research the demographic criteria of patients including age of the patient at operation rime (mean age 30.14 months), city of residence, family history of cleft palate (12.4%), familial relation of parents (15.2%), associated anomalies, complete or incomplete lesion, weight of patients at the time of surgery (mean 11.28 Kg), hemoglobin (11.3 mg/dl), complications, otitis media and the side of cleft palate are studied in 178 admitted patients to Imam General Hospital between 1989 and 1995.

Abstract
Maxillary sinus atelectasis is a rare and relatively unknown disease. Most patients present with non-sinonasel complaints. Negative intracavitary pressure due to ostial obstruction is suggested as the most probable etiology. Two patients with sinus atelectasis are presented in this paper: Case 1 presented with enophthalmus and maxillary sinus opacity and atelectasis in imaging. Endoscopic uncinectomy and midle antrostomy was done for this patient. Case 2 presented with mid-facial deformity and depression. Caldwel-Luc procedure with inferior meatal antrostomy was done. In 1 year follow up, they were asymptomatic and with no deterioration of facial deformity.

Abstract
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a rare cause of mastoiditis, but diagnosis is often delayed, with potentially serious results.
Case: We report a case of tuberculous mastoiditis with unilateral hearing loss, facial paralysis, and cervical lymph adenopathy on presentation.
Conclusion: Tuberculous mastoiditis must be considered in all cases of chronic refractory mastoiditis especially in the presence of demonstrable complications such as facial paralysis, other cranial nerve palsies, and destruction of middle ear osscicles.

Background: Anthropometric facial analysis and quantitative measurements are useful methods
for diagnosis, as well as planning in plastic surgery. The literature is
replete with numerous related studies, few of which are about the Iranian
population. This study was conducted to determine the average facial
proportions of Iranians and compare it with that of Caucasians.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenient sample of 212
Iranians (male=108, female=104)
aged 18-30 years who did not have any previous major
facial surgery or trauma and their past two generations were Iranian.
Measurements between facial landmarks were determined and compared with
Caucasians with Student and one sample t-tests (P<0.05, 95%
CI).
Results: The intercanthal (en-en) and eye widths (ex-en/R),
forehead height 2 (tr-n), trichion-endocanthion
(tr-en) and nasofacial and nasofrontal angles were not significantly different between
the participating men and women but other facial measurements were
significantly different (Р<0.05).
The head (ft-ft), eye (ex-en/R/L) and nose widths
(al-al) and upper face height (n-sto), nasofrontal angle and nasal tip
protrusion in the study population were not significantly different from
Caucasians. The upper lip (sn-sto), lower face (sn-gn) and forehead heights
(tr-n) and nasofacial angle of the female participants were not significantly
different from Caucasian women but other facial measurements were significantly
different (Р<0.05).
Conclusion: Most
facial anthropometric measurements of Iranian subjects were significantly different
from those of Caucasians. More precise studies with larger sample sizes are
warranted to reach a common conclusion on the facial anthropometric similarities
or differences between the two populations.

Abstract
Background: Finding an acute brain lesion by diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI upon an episode of transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a predictor of imminent stroke in the near future. Therefore, exploring risk factors associated with lesions in DW-MRI of the brain is important in adopting an approach to TIA management. In the current study, we tried to determine the risk factors associated with lesions in DW-MRI of the brain in patients experiencing TIA episodes.
Methods: Fifty patients with TIA were recruited consecutively in Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran, over a 6-month period between July 2008 and January 2009. All of the patients underwent a complete neurological examination and laboratory tests. Brain DW-MRIs were performed for all the patients within 72 hours of a TIA episode.
Results: DW-MRI revealed an acute lesion in 16% of the participants. There was a significant correlation between presence of an acute lesion in DW-MRI and TIA duration, history of diabetes mellitus and presence of unilateral facial palsy (P=0.0003, P=0.02 and P=0.008, respectively). Other variables such as age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, past history of TIA, headache, vertigo, and sensory or visual disturbances had no significant relation with the presence of an acute lesion in DW-MRI.
Conclusion: Duration of TIA, presence of diabetes mellitus and unilateral facial palsy are risk factors for an acute lesion in DW-MRI, meaning that patients with such risk factors are at risk for stroke in the near future.

Abstract
Background: Although the treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is very difficult, it can be prevented. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and practice of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the treatment of bisphosphonates user patients.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out by census sampling of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Tehran, Iran from March to June 2016. The employed instrument was a questionnaire including 4 sections. The first section was to collect the demographic information of the participants. In the second part including 7 questions, the knowledge of the participants was measured. The third section with 6 questions was to assess the participants’ practice in the treatment of patients using bisphosphates. Finally, the last sections contained 4 questions. The content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by 5 specialists in the field (two oral and maxillofacial surgeons, two periodontists, and one endodontist). To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, it was given twice with a 10-day interval to 10 of target group members. The calculation of Spearman-Brown formula revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.79.
Results: In the treatment of BRONJ, most subjects responded to risk, 1 and 2 stages patient education and symptom relief. Treatment with antibiotics and debridement surgery was chosen for patients with higher stages. From 123 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 102 answered the questionnaires. 77.2% of the surgeons answered correctly to questions about implant insertion. This percentage was higher than other therapeutic procedures.
Conclusion: The knowledge of oral and maxillofacial surgeons as final line of referral and treatment of patients using bisphosphonates should be increased.
