What is it?

Cleft lip & Palate is when a baby is born with an opening in the lip and/or roof of the mouth. Forms during the first 6-10 weeks of pregnancy when the baby’s upper jaw, nose, and mouth normally come together to form the roof of the mouth and the upper lip. Well Cleft lip & palate is when parts of the lip and mouth do not completely fuse together. Slide3

Cause

Cleft lip & Palate is an autosomal dominant gene that is seen passed on to kids if one of the parents has

clefting

, the parents have already had one or more children with

clefting

, and if there are a parent and child in the family

with

clefting

. The

healthy

genes

when

forming in

pregnancy

usually

join

between

the

fourth

and

week

.

Facts

In

C

aucasians it occurs around one in 1,000 live births, twice as common in Asians and half as common in African Americans.

Males are more likely to get cleft lip and palate, and females are more likely to get cleft palate alone

.

Cleft lip & Palate are birth defects that occur between the fourth and eighth week of pregnancy. Slide5

Affect on body

Cleft lip: It can either be a small notch in the red part of the upper lip (unilateral clefts) or two wide gaps in the upper lip and a collapsed and stretched nose (bilateral clefts).

Cleft palate: This can only be seen when the

babys

mouth is open. It is a

gap along the middle of the roof of the mouth.

Testing and screening

There are really no tests needed this a physical disorder so you will see it. You may sometimes be able to identify it during an ultrasoundSlide7

Treatments

Surgery:

Cleft lip surgery- This is when the

skin, muscle and lining are put in the proper place. The nose is also treated at the time of the first surgery, but often needs some minor surgeries as the child grows

.

Cleft palate surgery- When the

muscles at the back of the palate need to be put in their proper place across the cleft so the child can learn to speak normally

.

The

medical care for a child with a cleft requires a complex, lengthy treatment plan lasting until adulthood.Slide8

Interesting facts

Unilateral clefts are nine times as common as bilateral clefts, and occur twice as often on the left side than the right

.

Males are more likely to get cleft lip and palate, and females are more likely to get cleft palate alone.

The most common syndrome linked with cleft palate

is

velocardiofacial

syndrome.Slide9
