AI Article Synopsis
- Cleft lip and palate are common congenital defects, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
- This study examined 17 pregnancies with prenatally diagnosed cleft lip and palate, using methods like ultrasound and amniocentesis to analyze genetic factors.
- Out of 17 cases, 52.94% were associated with genetic syndromes, including Patau and Edwards syndromes, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive assessment for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Article Abstract
Cleft lip and/or palate are prevalent congenital anomalies. Early and accurate diagnosis allows proper case management. : This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between cleft lip and palate and other congenital anomalies. : This study analyzed 17 pregnancies prenatally diagnosed with cleft lip and palate. The investigations consisted of ultrasound examination, fetal karyotyping through amniocentesis, and family tree analysis. In the presence of an abnormal fetal karyotype, the parental karyotype was also indicated. : Of the 17 cases identified, 9 (52.94%) were syndromic and 8 (47.06%) were non-syndromic. The genetic syndromes identified in association with cleft lip and palate in this study included translocation syndrome (one case), Patau syndrome, trisomy 13 (seven cases), and Edwards syndrome, mosaic trisomy 18 (one case). : A comprehensive approach ensures a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach allow appropriate case management.
