Abstract

Abstract: Objective: Exploring the key points of perioperative clinical management for children with cleft palate accompanied by breath holding syndrome and congenital heart disease. Diagnosis and treatment: After conducting specialized examinations on the child with cleft palate and congenital heart disease, it was confirmed that his heart function was normal and that he was accompanied by breath holding syndrome. After analyzing the condition, a treatment plan was developed and cleft palate repair surgery was performed. Results: The surgery was successful. At 8 months of follow-up, the velar morphology was good and the patient had a clear articulation. Conclusions: Surgical operation can be considered in cleft palate patient with breath-holding syndrome and congenital heart disease under strict evaluation, delicate surgical manipulation and close protection.
