Sažetak
Cleft lip and palate are common craniofacial anomalies, requiring complex multidisciplinary treatment and having lifelong implications on affected individuals. The etiology is multifactorial. In our study, we are present 18 neonates with cleft lip and/or palate born at General Hospital Pula in the ten-year period (January 2003 - December 2012). The overall incidence of cleft lip and/or palate was 1, 25/1000. The diagnosis was made after birth in all cases. Ultrasound exams of heart, brain, urinary tract and abdominal structures were performed in all neonates. We found five atrial septal defects, one ventricular septal defect, one case of Tetralogy of Fallot and one unilateral renal agenesis. All neonates were fed with special nipples at our Department and after the appropriate growth was achieved the children were discharged home. Craniofacial surgeon was consulted in all cases during the hospital stay and recommended/arranged further diagnostic and therapeutic management at the Tertiary Craniofacial Center (Clinical Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb).
