title: [Anatomy and physiology of the muscles in cleft lip and palate].
abstract: The authors present the anatomy and the physiology of the normal and pathological muscles of the cleft lip and palate. The authors insist not only on the anatomic defects but mainly on the muscle functions which are the most disturbed. The purpose of this study is to guide the surgical technique in order to improve not only the cosmetic but the functional results as well.
