Abstract:
Objective To explore the ultrasonic diagnosis of fetal cleft palate.Methods By applying coronal,sagittal and transverse planes to scan the fetal facial anatomy routinely, 2125 pregnant women with 20 odd weeks′ gestation were examined.Results Complete cleft palate was diagnosed in 4 cases by ultrasonography, all of which were accompanied with complete cleft lip and alveolar process.Incomplete cleft palate were missed in 2 cases.Conclusions Complete cleft palate is accompanied mostly with cleft alveolar process and complete cleft lip, and cleft palate can be found out through cleft alveolar process.To those fetuses without cleft lip or with incomplete cleft lip,their palate cannot be explored by ultrasound,and their cleft palate cannot be displayed.
