RESUMEN
DESIGN AND OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to present our philosophy in managing the prominent premaxilla in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Indications, contraindications, and the pre- and postoperative orthodontic role are defined. SETTING: Tertiary care, cleft palate and craniofacial center-academic institution. PATIENTS: Under review were four cases of bilateral cleft lip and palate presenting with prominent premaxilla and operated on by a single surgeon between 1996 and 2004. CONCLUSION: With appropriate patient selection, bilateral alveolar bone grafting with premaxillary repositioning is a safe procedure and can produce good aesthetic and functional results.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that occurs most frequently in infants and children. It is usually asymptomatic and can present as either a cutaneous or extracutaneous lesion. The present case is believed to be the first reported in the English literature of juvenile xanthogranuloma presenting as an ulcerated bleeding lesion on the dorsum of the nose.
Le xanthogranulome juvénile est un type d'histiocytose non langerhansienne qui affecte davantage les nourrissons et les enfants. Il est en général asymptomatique et peut se manifester par une lésion cutanée ou extracutanée. Le cas de xanthogranulome juvénile présenté ici serait le premier à avoir été signalé dans la littérature de langue anglaise sous la forme d'une lésion ulcérée sanguinolente au niveau de l'arête du nez.
