Prenatal Ultrasonic Detection of Fetal Cleft Lip and Palate: A 5-Year Retrospective Study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of prenatal ultrasound in detecting fetal cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) and to analyze the distribution of subtypes, associated malformations, and pregnancy outcomes. Their study found an overall detection rate of 87%, with the highest detection for cleft lip with cleft palate (CLP) at 99.3%, and highlighted the increased risks of structural and genetic anomalies associated with this subtype. The findings suggest that while early detection is possible, there is a significant need for follow-up in cases of isolated cleft lip and palate due to lower detection rates.
