Syndromes and anomalies associated with cleft

Indian J Plast Surg. 2009 Oct;42 Suppl(Suppl):S51-5. doi: 10.4103/0970-0358.57187.

Abstract

Orofacial clefts are one of the commonest birth defects, and may be associated with other congenital anomalies. The majority of these orofacial clefts are nonsyndromic . A significant percentage of these clefts both syndromic and non-syndromic may have associated anomalies. Apart from reviewing other studies, this article also analyses a study of associated anomalies from a tertiary cleft centre in India.
