CONGENITAL CLEFT PALATE AND CARDIAC SEPTAL DEFECTS IN A NEONATAL SOUTHERN BLACK RHINOCEROS (DICEROS BICORNIS MINOR)

In South Africa, a filarioid infestation has been associated with lesions in the skin of the black rhinoceros (Schulz and Kluge, 1960). Similar lesions had been reported earlier from Kenya, as consistently occurring in these animals but their aetiology was unknown (Spinage, 1960). Recently the opportunity occurred to examine lesion material from four black rhinoceros located in the Royal Tsavo National Park Kenya. From this material adult helminths were recovered and identified (Round, 1964), and further pathological studies made. In addition, one rhinoceros showed evidence of an otitis.

Feeding Difficulty

Pediatricians are familiar with congenital cleft palates and those occurring as a part of a multisystem abnormality. We have encountered a child with a cultural "iatrogenic" cleft palate. The patient is a 5-year-old girl who appeared normal until 4 months of age, at which time she became febrile and had difficulty breathing as a result of an upper respiratory tract infection. She was not attended to by a physician, but a uvulectomy, supposedly to prevent respiratory distress, was performed by a laywoman considered by the villagers to be a "specialist" in the procedure. Following the uvulectomy, the infant experienced feeding difficulty, choking on solid and liquid foods.

Late Postoperative Period

Surgical repair of cleft palate is quite difficult because it aims not only to eliminate the anatomical defect of the palate, but also to ensure normal functioning, including speech. Moreover, successful surgery implies no or minimal deformation of the middle face that can be corrected in the late postoperative period. No doubt that primary surgery (both in terms of technique and time) is crucial for further growth and development of the maxilla. However, surgical techniques and the age of primary cleft palate repair vary between different clinics, which makes this literature review highly relevant.
