Discussion :
Unilateral complete cleft lip with cleft palate. Cleft means `split` or `separation`. During early pregnancy separate areas of the face develop individually and then join together. If some parts do not join properly the result is a cleft, the type and severity of which can vary. Cleft may cause problems with feeding, ear disease, speech and socialization. A cleft lip is usually surgically repaired by the time a baby is 2-3 months old. The palate is usually repaired by the time a baby is a year old. |
