Bifid uvula (cleft in uvula) means that the tissue that dangles in the back of the throat between the tonsils has two parts instead of one. It is often considered as a marker for sub mucous cleft palate. Compared to the normal one, it has fewer amounts of muscular tissues. It is commonly noticed in infants and is rarely found in adult. This occurs in about 2% of the population. It can cause problems in ear.
Causes
1. The bifid uvula results from incomplete fusion of the palatine shelves but it is considered only a slight form of clefting.
2. A forked uvula may be caused by genetics. In fact, many of the patients with a cleft uvula have at least one family member also affected with the condition in another generation or even in the present or immediate generation.
3. Such a genetic problem could be due to Loeys-Dietz syndrome. This is a very rare genetic syndrome.
4. The incomplete fusion of the medial nasal and maxillary processes.

Complications
1. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
2. The soft palate might be undeveloped. Thus, food and liquids could possibly enter the nasal cavity, causing breathing problems and choking.
3. Impaired speech because of the difficulties
4. Abnormalities in moving the soft palate muscles
5. Loss of air in the nose
6. Middle ear infections
Treatment
1. Some patients may opt for the removal of the bifurcated uvula but others would opt for the surgical reconstruction of these abnormal tissues.
2. If the symptom includes speech difficulties, then a speech therapist could possibly help the patient learn how to talk well.
3. Swallowing and feeding problems may also be addressed through appropriate therapy.
4. If there are infections in the ear, it is best to consult a doctor who can provide the necessary medications.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

ReplyDeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory problems worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this moment we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu: an African traditional herbalist and witch doctor whose professional labors had majored on the eradication of positive viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional services I was able to attain a divine recovery.
