Abstract

The anthropometric measurements of face were taken in 21 infants of 6-9 months (15 boys, 6 girls) with bilateral cleft lip, alveolus and palate, prior to surgery. The control group consisted of 30 normal infants, without facial defects. In each child 9 measurements were performed. The comparative analysis revealed an underdevelopment of maxilla and mandible and an increase in nasal width in children with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
