Abstract

The majority of defects in the palate, regardless of the consequences of trauma, chronic infections, neoplasia or congenital abnormalities, can only be corrected surgically, since there is a risk of aspiration of food into the respiratory tract. The present study aims to report the case of a cat treated in the HVU - UFPI with secondary cleft palate by trauma and that was surgically corrected using the sliding bipediculate flap technique (Von Langebeck technique).
