Most of the time (95% of babies with cleft lip with or without cleft palate and 85% for babies with cleft palate alone) a cleft is isolated. Sometimes a cleft can occur as part of a syndrome (5% of babies with cleft lip with or with out cleft palate and 15% of the time for babies with cleft palate alone).
Three of our patients died; Two from respiratory failure (at the age of 3 and 6 months) and the third one from aspiration pneumonia secondary to a cleft palate (at the age of 11 months). Therefore, 16 patients (6 males and 10 females) were reviewed in this study. Their age ranged from 6 to 63 months (mean 31 months).
