ABSTRACT

A case of a fetus seen at 33.2 weeks of gestation who was diagnosed with cleft lip in the third quarter by routine ultrasound. Describes the sequential steps that led to a multidisciplinary support the diagnosis of cleft palate by three-dimensional image reconstruction, which were originally obtained to demonstrate the fetal face surface. Birth confirmed the prenatal findings and established the diagnosis of cleft lip and cleft hard and soft palate. It has been reported that the diagnosis of facial clefts can be done with relative ease prenatally, but the detection rate of facial clefts in routine tests is only 20%. Until recently the diagnosis of cleft palate is not considered possible, however in recent years advances in three-dimensional technology has made possible the development of techniques for the assessment of the palate and various authors have reported promising results of ingenious applications that make think that in the near future will approach the palate a fact. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are relatively new and highlights how valuable this information is for parents of the affected creature.
