1 in every 1,000 babies.
''Pathophysiology''
polygenic inheritance
maternal antiepileptic use increases risk
cleft lip results from failure of the fronto-nasal and maxillary processes to fuse
cleft palate results from failure of the palatine processes and the nasal septum to fuse
''Problems''
feeding: orthodontic devices may be helpful
speech: with speech therapy 75% of children develop normal speech
increased risk of otitis media for cleft palate babies
''Management''
cleft lip is repaired earlier than cleft palate, with practices varying from repair in the first week of life to three months
cleft palates are typically repaired between 6-12 months of age
