  At your regular appointments with the cleft team, the speech-language pathologist will carefully listen to your child's speech to help the surgeon decide if another surgery is needed to improve speech. [kidshealth.org]

  Speech-Language Pathologists Speech-language pathologists help patients overcome difficulties in communication and swallowing. [cleftresources.com]

  A variety of approaches have been described and the choice rests with the surgeon in consultation with the speech pathologist. [kidsplastsurg.com]

• Surgical Procedure

  Myringotomy & tubes A minor surgical procedure in which a small slit is made in the eardrum to allow fluid to drain from the middle ear. A ventilation tube may be placed to keep this space open. [uichildrens.org]

  A septoplasty, a surgical procedure that straightens the septum, can help restore the nasal airway. [chop.edu]

  While cleft palate has a severe impact upon the ability to nurse and speak, it is now successfully treated through reconstructive surgical procedures at an early age, where such procedures are available. [en.wikipedia.org]

  About 20 percent of children with a cleft palate require further surgical procedures to help improve their speech. [healthofchildren.com]

• Feeding Difficulties

  Sir, submucous cleft palate can be defined as the abnormal attachment of the palatal muscles with intact oral and nasal mucosa.1 This produces functional difficulties for the patient including speech problems, feeding difficulties or middle ear dysfunction [nature.com]

  Beyond the cosmetic abnormality, there are other possible complications that may be associated with cleft lip and cleft palate, including the following: Feeding difficulties. Feeding difficulties occur more with cleft palate abnormalities. [urmc.rochester.edu]

  Health Problems Related to Cleft Lip and Palate Feeding Feeding difficulties may occur in newborns with cleft lip and/or palate as the normal anatomy of the mouth is disrupted. Each baby is different in their ability to feed. [chla.org]

  Challenges Associated with Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Beyond the cosmetic abnormality, there are other possible complications that may be associated with cleft lip and cleft palate, including the following: Feeding Difficulties Feeding difficulties occur [dellchildrens.net]

  Feeding difficulties occur more with cleft palate abnormalities. Children with cleft lip but without cleft palate do not usually have feeding difficulties. [chop.edu]

  Aspiration and reflux are common. This improves in weeks, months or years, with a few children having permanent problems. [chargesyndrome.org]

  An endotracheal tube prevents aspiration of blood. The surgical field is injected with a local anesthestic to provide further numbing and blood vessel constriction (to limit bleeding). [encyclopedia.com]

  Your child may cry, be fussy or confused, feel sick to his or her stomach, or vomit. These reactions are normal and will go away as the anesthesia wears off. Your child will have sutures (SOO-chers) or stitches in the roof of his or her mouth. [chp.edu]

  Often when parents bring a child with cleft palate fistula, if inquired how the "whole appeared", the answer likely that child cried post-operatively or child had severe vomiting, as explained by the surgeon. [jclpca.org]

• Seizure

  Epilepsy is a seizure disorder that affects how the nerve cells in your brain work. A seizure is when the whole body or parts of the body move without control. Being obese during pregnancy. [marchofdimes.org]

  Risk factors affecting the mother include diabetes, smoking or drinking during pregnancy, not consuming enough folic acid and taking anti-seizure medications. Genetics can also play a role. [deltadentalins.com]

  Medications that treat a mother's seizure disorder may also be linked to development of this congenital defect. Cleft lip and palate is a common birth defect. It occurs together in 1 of every 1,000 babies, somewhat more in males than females. [health.state.mn.us]

  Also, some environmental factors can increase the risk of a birth defect, such as: taking certain medicines (such as some anti-seizure medicines) during pregnancy not getting the right amount of prenatal nutrients exposure to some chemicals during pregnancy [kidshealth.org]

  Nutritional factors during early pregnancy, such as folate deficiency, as well as certain medicines taken during pregnancy (e.g., seizure medicines) may also increase the risk of cleft palate. [britannica.com]

Treatments for cleft lip and palate Cleft lip and cleft palate are treated at specialist NHS cleft centres. Your child will usually have a long-term care plan that outlines the treatments and assessments they'll need as they grow up. [nhs.uk]

Type-specific sonographic features include: type III: may be seen as a premaxillary echogenic mass 8 Ancillary sonographic features there can be polyhydramnios if the defect is severe and impairs swallowing Treatment and prognosis The overall prognosis [radiopaedia.org]

Cartilage hypoplasia and cranial base abnormality have also been posited as potential etiologies. [medicine.uiowa.edu]

Etiology The etiology of SCN-E and MCN-E remains to be fully elucidated. The SCN can be entrapped not only in the osteofibrous tunnel in the iliac crest but also at the site where it penetrates the thoraco-lumbar fascia [2,6,11,17,28,35]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
