What causes a cleft lip and palate? During the early stages of pregnancy, the upper lip and palate develop from tissues lying on either side of the tongue. Normally, as the face and skull are formed, these tissues grow towards each other and join up in the middle. When the tissues that form the upper lip fail to join up in the middle of the face, a gap occurs in the lip. Usually, a single gap occurs below one or other nostril (unilateral cleft lip). Sometimes there are two gaps in the upper lip, each below a nostril (bilateral cleft lip). Cleft lip and palate When the palate fails to join up, a gap is left in the roof of the mouth up into the nose.

Severity of the abnormalities may range from a small notch in the lip to a complete fissure (groove) extending into the roof of the mouth and nose. These features may occur separately or together. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Cleft lip and palate may occur in association with other syndromes or birth defects. There are numerous causes for these birth defects, including mutant genes inherited from one or both parents, and teratogens (drugs, viruses, or other toxins that can cause abnormalities in a developing fetus). As well as being disfiguring, these abnormalities can cause feeding difficulties, problems with speech development, and ear infections.

Tissue Expansion If you're considering surgery to correct cleft lip or palate... In the early weeks of development, long before a child is born, the right and left sides of the lip and the roof of the mouth normally grow together. Occasionally, however, in about one of every 800 babies, those sections don't quite meet. A child born with a separation in the upper lip is said to have a cleft lip. A similar birth defect in the roof of the mouth, or palate, is called a cleft palate. Since the lip and the palate develop separately, it is possible for a child to have a cleft lip, a cleft palate, or variations of both. If your child was born with either or both of these conditions, your doctor will probably recommend surgery to repair it. Medical professionals have made great advances in treating children with clefts and can do a lot to help your child lead a normal, healthy, happy life. This information will give you a basic understanding of the operation when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on you individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your surgeon if there is anything you don't understand about the procedure.
