INTRODUCTION: Clef lip and palate are the most common craniofacial malformations in the world and the second most common congenital malformation. Its etiology is multifactorial and occurs as a consequience of an alteration in the fusion of the embryological processes that make up the nasal and oral cavity, between the sixth and the tenth week of gestation.
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the cases of cleft lip and palate diagnosed in our center during the last 6 years, collecting the epidemiological and perinatal factors associated with them.
METHODOLOGY: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, in which the cases of cleft lip and palated diagnosed in our center during pregnancy were reviewed during the referred period.
RESULTS: 5 cases were detected during the study period. All were diagnosed by conventional 2D ultrasound (US2D) before week 30, 60% on routine morphological ultrasound in the second trimester. 80% of the cases were cleft lip and palate, of which 75% were bilateral. There was only one case of claft lip. 60% of fetuses with cleft lip and/ or palate had other associated
malformations, with two of the cases being polymalformed fetuses.
CONCLUSIONS: Its early diagnosis is important, due to its functional implications in postnatal life, as well as its association with other genetic malformations and syndromes. The knowledge of the anatomy and lip and palatal function, as well as the epidemiological factors involved, allows to carry out an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
