bones further hinder visualization of the hard and soft palate.
The palatal arch becomes more marked after 25weeks of gestation, and the entire hard and soft palate cannot be visualized in one sagittal section. As the soft palate lies at an angulation to
the hard palate, sometimes echo dropouts in the hard palate can be seen while imaging the soft palate. (Fig.11.23a).
These dropouts should not be mistaken for a cleft of the secondary palate. The hard palate can
be visualized in the same case as shown in Fig.11.23b; note that the soft palate is not imaged in this section.
Figure 11.23c is an illustration of the trans­verse axial view at the base of the skull at the level of the oropharynx in a case of the cleft of the secondary palate, note that the equal sign (i.e.) uvula cannot be imaged. The glottic folds are imaged in a slightly inferior plane (Fig.
11.23d) should not be mistaken for the equal
sign of the uvula.

Syndromes andAssociations
12
Commonly, orofacial clefts appear as isolated condition with a generally favorable outcome, but their frequent associations with other congenital malformations have long been known [1]. So the
outcome depends primarily on the presence and type of associated malformations [25]. The pro-
portion of cases with additional abnormalities varies between studies ranging from 1.5% to
64.2% [68]. Hence when a CLP is prenatally detected, an extensive search for the presence of other system malformations has to be done.
This chapter deals with the prenatal diagnosis of commonly associated malformations with CLP.We have now moved towards the detection of anoma­lies in the rst trimester, thus paving the way for early diagnosis and counseling. A brief description of the presentation of associated malformations at 11–14weeks scan is also illustrated.
12.1 Fetal Brain inOrofacial Clefts
As the face and brain share the same timeline of embryological development, the anomalies affecting the face also affect the brain. The
median portion of the face and the forebrain are closely related to prosencephalic development.
Anomalies in these mechanisms lead to typical

developmental disorders involving the face and brain like holoprosencephaly [9]. Cerebellar anomalies can also be associated with an orofa­cial cleft.
Figure 12.1 illustrates median CLP associated with holoprosencephaly diagnosed at 19weeks. The at facial prole with the absence of maxil­lary line is depicted in Fig. 12.1a. The midline interruption in the lip and palate, along with the defect in the base of retronasal triangle, is illus­trated with both 2D and 3D imaging.
Figure 12.2 illustrates median CLP with holo­prosencephaly diagnosed at 13 weeks of gesta­tion. The same anatomical landmarks utilized
for diagnosing median CLP in mid trimester can be visualized at 13weeks itself.
Most often, median CLP is associated with holoprosencephaly. Figure12.3 is an illustration of bilateral CLP in holoprosencephaly. Figure 12.3a illustrates the subtle premaxillary protrusion, and Fig.12.3c shows the median pro­cess along with bilateral paramedian defect.
Though holoprosencephaly is the most com­mon association, cerebellar anomalies are not a rarity. Figure 12.4 illustrates a mediolateral
defect associated with Dandy Walker Malformation at 21weeks. Note the rotated and hypoplastic vermis in Fig.12.4d. The same asso-
ciation, when identied in the 11–14 weeks scan, presents as increased uid in the posterior fossa. Figure12.5 illustrates bilateral CLP with
posterior fossa cyst and ventriculomegaly.
