Scope forFuture

13.1 Screening forOrofacial Cleft
The recommended minimum requirements for a basic fetal anatomic survey during the mid tri­mester of pregnancy includes evaluation of the upper lip for possible cleft anomaly [1]. Routine
evaluation of the palate or the identication of palatine cleft is not currently included in the guidelines.
However, once a cleft lip is detected, an extended evaluation of the fetal face is necessary to assess cleft extension into the palate. Hence every sonographer makes an attempt to evaluate the palate in case of cleft lip, even though it is not included as a part of the routine anatomic survey.
An algorithmic approach to evaluate cleft extension into the palate has been proposed in Chap. 10, Fig. 10.13. If the evaluation of the pal­ate is reserved to only those cases with cleft lip, then isolated cleft of secondary palate becomes a non-diagnosable entity. This explains the very low detection rates of isolated CP in antenatal ultrasound.
Moreover, families who have a previous child with CL± CP have a 3 to 5% chance of recur­rence, and if a parent and a previous child are both affected, the recurrence rate may be as high as 15% [2]. There are many known genetic syn­dromes with the association of median cleft pal­ate (CP).
Recurrence risk is one of the major concerns the parents and families have to confront. So, this emphasizes the need for us to incorporate the evaluation of palate in the screening protocol for high-risk cases. As of now, there are no guide-
lines on screening for palatine clefts, but there is a need to develop a methodical approach to assess the palate in mid trimester.
Though sonographic markers like “the equal sign” for visualizing the uvula has been pro­posed, we are yet to arrive at a consensus of whether to include the sign in our routine pro­tocol. It goes without saying that inclusion of this
sign in routine protocol would increase the detec­tion rate of isolated cleft of secondary palate [3].
Shadowing from premaxilla and the surround­ing facial bones hinder visualization of the palate in routine conventional views. Evaluation of pal­ate is possible only when the fetal neck is in slight extension and uid in the oral cavity is a necessary prerequisite. So, most often failure to
visualize the secondary palate in ultrasound is because of unfavorable fetal position.
The difculties in assessing the palate in mid trimester do not exist if evaluation of the palate is shifted to the late rst trimester. The palate being
at in early gestation, and as there is minimal shadowing from facial bones, it can easily be evaluated in the late rst trimester.
The midsagittal facial prole is routinely done at the 11–14weeks scan for the nuchal translu-

cency measurement, and all sonographers are familiar with the anatomical landmarks in this plane. Hence, the markers proposed in the mid­sagittal section serve as one of the important tools for the diagnosis of cleft palate.
The guidelines for the anatomical survey at
11–14weeks scan includes evaluation of the lips.
As there is minimal soft tissue development at this period of gestation, the bony landmarks of the palate serve as better tools to diagnose the orofacial cleft rather than the lip. The inclusion
of either the axial and coronal views or both along with the midsagittal view helps to increase the detection rate of the cleft palate at 11–14weeks scan [4].
With the addition of newer markers like “superimposed line sign,” there is a potential for earlier detection of the isolated cleft of the sec­ondary palate [5]. Moreover, the advantages of multiplanar imaging in the rst trimester are to be explored in the near future.
An effective screening protocol for detecting cleft palate is needed, particularly one that can be applied early in pregnancy when it is possible to perform preliminary genetic diagnoses.
Figure13.1 illustrates the basic planes included for screening in the rst trimester and mid trimes­ter to evaluate for cleft palate in high-risk and low-risk cases.
13.2 Ultrasound andMRI
inDetecting Orofacial Cleft
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable complement to sonography, adding useful infor­mation about the maxillofacial anatomy and allowing precise evaluation of the primary and secondary palate. The advantage of MRI is that
it is less affected by maternal body habitus, severe oligohydramnios and unfavorable fetal position. Fetal MRI can be used as an imaging
adjuvant in doubtful cases to conrm the position and extension of clefts in high-risk cases [6].
MR imaging has shown high positive (96%) and negative (80%) predictive values for the detection of cleft palate. Some studies have com­pared 2D ultrasound and MRI of the maxillofa-
cial region in the ability of visualizing the location and extent of malformations [7]. These studies have shown better accuracy in the detec­tion of cleft lip and palate on MRI (100%) versus 2D ultrasound (85%) [8, 9].
In MRI, communication of the oropharynx and nasopharynx in the expected region of the soft palate and an abnormally elevated tongue position are clues to the presence of cleft second­ary palate. However, visualization of the soft
palate during the swallowing movement of the tongue during real-time imaging is an exclusive feature of ultrasonography.
It is possible that with a combination of ultra­sound and MRI, we can improve our accuracy and detection rate of facial clefts and their asso­ciations [10]. However, the accessibility of MRI to antenatal cases is limited in various parts of the world, and hence ultrasound stays as the rst-line imaging modality in diagnosing orofacial clefts.

13.3 3D Imprinting

In the future, physicians may use 3D models reconstructed from ultrasound, CT, and/or MRI data sets for the representation of orofacial clefts that would prepare them for dealing with differ­ent clinical scenarios of the future newborn [11,
12]. The 3D model also allows parents to under-
stand more clearly the extent of the cleft defor­mity and facial dysmorphism. The 3D printed model contains all the anatomical features of the facial area involved, and it allows surgeons to understand the situation and plan postnatal surgi­cal care clearly.
As 3D printed models have a wide reaching potential in the eld of medical education, it is very useful for medical students to aid in the interpretation of 2D imaging to assess the phe­notypic variations in diagnosing cleft lip and palate [13].
With advancements in technology, making an accurate prenatal denition of the type and exten­sion of facial cleft is possible, by which we can
counsel patients more precisely and plan post­natal management correctly. As in-utero repair
of facial clefts leads to a scarless healing of the

mucoperiosteum, in the future the prospective mothers with affected babies may never see post­natally the cleft in their babies [14, 15]. Now that prenatal surgery is a reality, and with the use of in utero endoscopic techniques, repair of facial clefts in-utero may be an achievable goal in the future.
