Loeys–Dietz syndrome can cause cleft palate or bifid uvula, hypertelorism, and aortic aneurysm. [42] Hardikar syndrome can cause cleft lip and palate, Hydronephrosis, Intestinal obstruction and other symptoms. [43] Cleft lip/palate may be present in many different chromosome disorders including Patau syndrome (trisomy 13).
Maxillary hypoplasia is the most common secondary deformity that results from cleft lip and cleft palate. Because of the subjective nature of the diagnosis, the incidence of maxillary hypoplasia in people with cleft lip and palate varies between 15-50%. It is estimated that 25-50% of these patients require surgical intervention. [7]
Clinically, cleft palate presents as opening in the palate that can affect the front palate only or extending from the front to the back palate. [47] Cleft lip is presented clinically with opening of the upper lip which can be a small slit on the upper lip or large opening connected to the nose. [47] The cleft can be unilateral on the upper lip ...
The three most common symptoms of Opitz G/BBB syndrome (both type I & II) are hypertelorism (exceptionally wide-spaced eyes), laryngo-tracheo-esophalgeal defects (including clefts and holes in the palate, larynx, trachea and esophagus) and hypospadias (urinary openings in males not at the tip of the penis) (Meroni, Opitz G/BBB syndrome, 2012).
Furthermore, if a cleft patient has lip pits, he or she has a ten times greater risk of having a child with cleft lip with or without cleft palate than a cleft patient who does not have lip pits. [4] Types of clefting between parents and affected children are significantly associated; however, different types of clefts may occur horizontally ...
A cleft palate is one of the most common causes of VPI. Cleft palate is an anatomical abnormality that occurs in utero and is present at birth. This malformation can affect the lip and palate, or the palate only. A cleft palate can affect the mobility of the velopharyngeal valve, thereby resulting in VPI. [citation needed]
Holoprosencephaly-ectrodactyly-cleft lip/palate syndrome; Other names: Hartsfield syndrome [1] Specialty: Medical genetics: Diagnostic method: genetic testing, physical examination: Prevention: None: Prognosis: poor: Frequency: rare, about 35 cases have been described in the medical literature: Deaths: most patients are either stillborn or die ...
The palate may be arched excessively (a high palate), because the tongue does not form a suction that would normally shape the palate down further. The palate may have a groove (this may be partially due to intubation early on if it is for an extended period of time) or may be cleft (incompletely formed).
