Born To Be Cleft :) - My Personal Story Growing Up With A Cleft Lip And Cleft Pa
Personal story of what it was like having been born with a cleft lip and cleft palate.

Extractions: CLICK HERE TO GET OUT! Born to be Cleft :) Hi! And welcome to my cleft site! In case you haven't visited my main homepage , my name is Kim and I'm 29 years old. I was born with a unilateral cleft lip (which means just being cleft under one nostril), and bilateral cleft palate (no palate at all). When I originally started this page there wasn't that many personal stories about being born with a cleft, and so I decided to tell my own story. I'm still putting the finishing touches on the site, but you're more than welcome to look around! :) UPDATE! July 6, 2002 - I'm working on updating, redesigning, and moving the site to where there'll be no banner ads or pop-ups :). BTW, this site has it's own domain name now, BornToBeCleft.com . For now, the address points here, but once the new site is ready, it will go there. So be sure to check in later! Who is this site aimed at?

These abnormalities affect about one in every 1,000 births and are more common among Asians and certain groups of American Indians than among Caucasians. They occur less frequently among African-Americans. Cleft lip and cleft palate occur early in pregnancy when the sides of the lip and the roof of the mouth do not fuse together as they should. A child can have cleft lip, cleft palate, or both. Cleft lip and cleft palate together are more common in boys. It is also important to know that most babies born with a cleft are otherwise healthy with no other birth abnormalities. cleft palate Cleft palate occurs when the roof of the mouth does not completely close, leaving an opening that can extend into the nasal cavity. The cleft may involve either side of the palate. It can extend from the front of the mouth (hard palate) to the throat (soft palate). Often the cleft will also include the lip. Cleft palate is not as noticeable as cleft lip because it is inside the mouth. It may be the only abnormality in the child, or it may be associated with cleft lip or other syndromes. In many cases, other family members have also had a cleft palate at birth.

Extractions: Cleft lip and cleft palate are conditions which occur when tissues that usually form the lip or the roof of the mouth fail to grow together, creating a gap in the lip or a hole in the roof of the mouth. The reasons for this are not entirely known, but the condition is among the most common problems noted at birthit occurs once in every 1000 live births (the same frequency as club foot). A recent study(March 1996) indicates that smoking during pregnancy may double the risk that the child will be born with a cleft lip or palate. Since it occurs this frequently, almost everyone knows someone who has a cleft lip or cleft palate. The repaired cleft lip may be noticed in the adult as an uneven upper lip and a scar which runs from the nose down through the upper lip. Persons with a repaired cleft palate may have a nasal quality to their speech. This can occur because there is a shortage of tissue in the roof of the mouth after the repair in some cases and sounds can accidentally leak out the nose when certain words are spoken. In most cases following reconstructive surgery the patient can expect to live a normal life and the cleft condition should hopefully not stand in the way of any dreams or aspirations. The cleft lip is usually repaired at about age 3 months. The cleft palate is usually fixed at about one year of age, though this may vary based on the size of the cleft itself. Usually the patients remain in the hospital for one or two nights and sutures in the lip are taken out in about 5 days. Sutures in the palate do not need to be taken out because they are made of a material which will dissolve.

Extractions: helpful? yes no A cleft of lip or palate occurs when there is a partial or total failure of the lip and palate to fuse during the early stages of pregnancy. Clefts may affect the lip (on one or both sides), the palate, or both. Surgery is carried out in the early weeks of life. Infants with clefts of the lip and/or palate should be referred to a recognised multi-disciplinary cleft team. Following the publication of the Clinical Standards Advisory Group report on cleft lip and/or palate in 1998, the number of cleft teams in the UK has been reduced. There are nine teams in England and Wales, one in Northern Ireland and three is Scotland and these new teams will provide comprehensive care from birth to maturity. Teams include surgeons, speech or language therapists, orthodontists, paediatricians and others. Early referral is encouraged. Inheritance patterns

http://www.entcolumbia.org/cleft.htm

Extractions: Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth abnormalities of the lip and mouth. The lip and palate begin forming during just the first few weeks of gestation, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant. During this time, the sides of the mouth begin developing and eventually unite evenly in most infants. In rare cases, however, the sides of the mouth do not fuse together properly, creating a notch or cleft. Cleft palate cleft palate occurs when the roof of the mouth does not unite properly. Openings may involve either side of the palate and may extend into the nasal cavity. They may extend from the front of the mouth (hard palate) to the throat (soft palate), and they often include the lip. Cleft lip cleft lip occurs when the two sides of the lip do not fuse completely. Cleft lip may vary greatly, from a mild notch in the lip to a severe opening up through the nose. A cleft may extend only partially from the lip towards the nose (incomplete) or go into the nasal cavity (complete). Lip clefts may occur on one side (unilateral) or both sides of the mouth (bilateral). In the U.S., about 1 in 700 babies is born with cleft lip or cleft palate. While the causes of cleft lip and palate are not completely understood, there may be several factors involved.

Extractions: WELCOME TO www.onCLEFT.com (Part of Craniology.org Website) Each year approximately 227,500 or 7 percent of births in the United States are affected by birth defects of the head and face. The most common of these are clefts of the lip and palate which occur once in every 700 births. Clefts occur in infants of all races with a 2:1 male to female ratio. The incidence of clefts is highest in the Asian population and lowest in African Americans. Of all orofacial clefts, 21 percent present as cleft lip only (unilateral and bilateral), 46 percent present as cleft lip and palate, while the remaining 33 percent have cleft palate alone. What is a cleft? A cleft is a division or separation of parts of the lip or roof of the mouth that is formed during the early months of development of the unborn child. All of the parts of the lip or roof of the mouth are present; they simply failed to fuse in a normal way. Surgical intervention is necessary to align the parts and join them. Often the bones of upper jaw (maxilla) and/or the upper gum are affected. A cleft lip can be incomplete with a variable degree of notching of the lip, or complete, extending through the lip and into the nose. Preoperative Postoperative Clefts of the palate can vary in severity. Some may involve just the uvula and the soft palate. These are incomplete clefts of the palate. Others extend the length of the palate and are complete clefts. They may involve one side of the palate (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral).

Extractions: What is cleft lip and cleft palate? We all start out life with a cleft lip and palate. During normal fetal development between the 6th and 11th week of pregnancy, the clefts in the lip and palate fuse together. In babies born with cleft lip or cleft palate, one or both of these splits failed to fuse. with both a cleft lip and cleft palate or a cleft in just one area. Oral clefts are one of the most common birth defects. Clefts in the lip can range from a tiny notch in the upper lip to a split that extends into the nose. A cleft palate can range from a small malformation that results in minimal problems to a large separation of the palate that interferes with eating, speaking, and even breathing. Clefts are often referred to as unilateral, a split on one side, or bilateral, one split on each side. There are three primary types of clefts: Cleft lip/palate refers to the condition when both the palate and lip are cleft. About one in 1,000 babies are born with cleft lip/palate.

An opening in the lip is called cleft lip. An opening in the roof of the mouth (palate) is called cleft palate. The separate parts that form a baby's face and palate come together during early pregnancy. A cleft occurs if the parts do not fuse completely. One out of every 700 babies has some form of cleft lip or cleft palate. Up to 5,000 babies are born with a cleft lip or palate in the United States each year. Cleft lip used to be referred to as a hare lip because it was thought the upper lip looked like a rabbit's lip. The term hare lip should not be used. The defect should be referred to as cleft lip.

Extractions: 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 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.

For the task ahead, support and participation is needed from all of us in order to transform the lives of those who need help. Cleft defects develop very early in pregnancy. They result from an abnormality in the genes (units of heredity) or chromosomes (packets of genes). These elements contain the program that determines how the child will be formed. Why and how abnormalities in the genes and chromosomes develop is largely unknown. An individualized genetic assessment may be helpful in identifying the cause of the malformation.

All Health Topics A-Z Early in our development in the uterus, every single one of us has a cleft lip and a cleft palate, but as normal development continues during the first trimester, the tissues that form the palate and the upper lip come together, or fuse. If that fusion doesn't happen, children are born with a cleft lip and/or a cleft palate. How common? The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) considers this birth defect (Read about " Birth Defects ") a common one. ASPS says it affects one in every 700 to 1000 births in the United States. The March of Dimes (MOD) calls this birth defect an oral-facial cleft. An oral-facial cleft, according to MOD, is an opening in a structure around the mouth and face.
