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).
A cleft can form on any part of the palate, including the front part of the roof of the mouth (hard palate) or the small flap of tissue that hangs down from the soft palate (uvula). It may appear by itself or along with other birth defects of the face and skull, such as a cleft lip . Cleft palate and cleft lip are the most common birth defects of the head and neck. Until a cleft palate is treated with surgery, it can cause problems with feeding, speech, and hearing.
