Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby's face and mouth don't fuse properly. Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy. But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft). Researchers believe that most cases of cleft lip and cleft palate are caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In many babies, a definite cause isn't discovered.
Cleft Lip. More common than isolated cleft palates, cleft lips can be accompanied by a separation of the palate, but need not be. Children born with cleft lips have splits on either or both sides of their nose, which can extend upwards to affect nasal tissue, as well as creating grooves or separations in the gums. Like cleft palate, cleft lip is believed to be caused by an interplay between genetic, or hereditary, factors and chemicals ingested by a mother during pregnancy. A cleft lip can be repaired through a surgical procedure usually performed before 18 weeks of life.
