Abstract
Palatal cysts (Epstein pearls) are occasionally noticed as white papules on the palatal mucosa of a neonate whilst having its 6-week postnatal check. We describe five cleft patients and the distribution characteristics of their palatal cysts, including the previously unrecorded observation of a submucous cleft palate with a double row of palatal cysts, one row on each side of the zona pellucida. The role of spatial morphology of palatal cysts in interpreting cleft pathogenesis is discussed.
Keywords
