Abstract

We evaluated the utility of systematic neonatal radiological explorations in 20 instances of isolated cleft lip and palate in 20 cases. This study included 13 infants with prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. The type of cleft and possible associated anomalies were noted. A systematic chromosomal test was done. In 7 cases, the cleft lip was noted at birth. Postnatal outcome was obtained and a clinical examination and radiological explorations were carried out. For the cases with prenatal diagnosis, the chromosomal test was normal in 11 cases and we noted associated anomalies in three cases. For the cases with neonatal diagnosis, the chromosomal test was normal in 6 cases and 1 infant had associated anomalies. The biological and radiological explorations can be numerous. In our study, the systematic neonatal radiological explorations did not find more elements compared with neonatal clinical examinations. The high risk of having a chromosomal anomaly in children with cleft lip requires systematic prenatal chromosomal exploration.
