alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Incidence of occult cleft palate on prenatal magnetic resonance images obtained for non-cleft indications via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com Prenatal diagnosis of craniofacial anomalies has improved family education and preparedness. Isolated cleft palate, however, remains difficult to identify sonographically. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of incidental cleft palate identified on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following the ultrasound detection of non-cleft abnormalities. This was a retrospective study of pregnant women who had fetal MRI performed between 2003 and 2017. To be included, the woman had to have been referred for fetal imaging for a non-cleft indication, with subsequent identification of an isolated cleft palate on MRI.
