This was a case of isolated cleft palate where primary palate repair was done elsewhere. The patient came to our hospital with the complaints of escape of water through the nose due to small hole in the mid palatine region.
After thorough clinical examination, Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji diagnosed it as oronasal fistula in the mid palatine region and bifid uvula due to post surgical defect after treatment done elsewhere. By following palatal pushback technique, re palate was done and bifid uvula was joined. Results are immediate and positive suction test is achieved.
