This presented as a very rare occurrence in three different variations, each having specific clinical appearances. The literature search revealed three publications each describing a single isolated hard palate cleft. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Deviant phonetic patterns may persist in the speech of older children with cleft palate Middle ear disease is present at birth in most infants with cleft palate, but there is probably no increased risk when only cleft lip is present. [speechbuddy.com]
Workup
Lateral cephalometric radiographs in a 14-year-old girl with Stickler syndrome and isolated cleft palate who underwent a preoperative workup for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. [pubs.rsna.org]
Treatment
We can help to maximize normal appearance through surgery and other treatments. [chop.edu]
Treatment involves a team of health care providers. The type of treatment depends on how severe the problem is. Surgery is the most common treatment for a cleft palate. [healthlinkbc.ca]
Prognosis
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]
Prognosis : poor or guarded - better for soft palate defects detected and treated early; wound breakdown and complications common. Pathogenesis Etiology Hereditary. Trauma. [vetstream.com]
Prognosis Both cleft lip and cleft palate are treatable birth defects. [encyclopedia.com]
These are distinct entities with different implications regarding underlying genetic syndromes, associated anomalies, and prognosis. [pubs.rsna.org]
Etiology

Some content is also relevant to individuals with velopharyngeal inadequacy, secondary to various other etiologies. See the Cleft Lip and Palate Evidence Map for summaries of the available research on this topic. [asha.org]
Cartilage hypoplasia and cranial base abnormality have also been posited as potential etiologies. [medicine.uiowa.edu]

Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) and cleft palate alone (CP) are different entities with varying incidence, epidemiology, and genetics. [encyclopedia.com]
Epidemiology Frequency The incidence of cleft lip/palate by race is 2.1/1000 in Asians, 1/1000 in whites, and 0.41/1000 in blacks. Isolated cleft palate shows a relatively constant ratio of 0.45-0.5/1000 births. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
[…] indicated that parental risk factors for oral clefts include older maternal age, pregestational hypertension, gestational seizures, a lower maternal and paternal education level, and paternal tobacco smoking, as well as a family history of oral clefts.

Prevention
The flap was directed into the palatal defect via the right alveolar cleft and sutured in a fashion to prevent dehiscence and fistulization. RESULTS: The surface of the flap mucosalized over an 8-week period. The defect was completely closed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A defect in the alveolus can (1) displace, tip, or rotate permanent teeth, (2) prevent permanent teeth from appearing, and (3) prevent the alveolar ridge from forming. These problems can usually be repaired through oral surgery. [webmd.com]
