3.2 Classication ofFacial Cleft

by Kernahan and Stark, which was adopted by the International Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery [7]. The American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) classi­cation has four categories, namely clefts of the pre-palate, cleft of the secondary palate, cleft of the prepalate and secondary palate (cheiloalveo­lopalatoschisis) and facial clefts other than these.
Cleft of prepalate is further subdivided as cleft lip (cheiloschisis), cleft alveolus (alveoloschisis) and cleft lip, alveolus and primary palate (chei­loalveoloschisis). Clefts of the secondary palate are subdivided into uranoschisis (cleft of the hard palate), staphyloschisis, or veloschisis, which is

cleft of the soft palate and uranostaphyloschisis (cleft of the hard and soft palate).
3.2 Classication ofFacial Cleft
Facial cleft required their own classication sys­tem [1820]. Paul Tessier in 1976 published a classication on facial clefts based on the ana­tomical position at the lines of embryological fusion [19]. These clefts are numbered from 0 to 14, 30 (Fig.3.2).
Tessier described cleft at the soft tissue level
and bony structure due to slightly different loca-

tions of the cleft on the soft tissue and bone.
These clefts can be further grouped into the midline, paramedian, orbital, and lateral clefts.
The midline clefts are median craniofacial dysplasia-0, frontonasal dysplasia-14 and lower midline facial cleft-30. The paramedian clefts are clefts 1,2 running through the nose and maxilla and clefts 12,13 running through the nose and frontal bone. The orbital clefts 3,4,5 runs through the orbital oor and maxilla from medial to lat­eral, respectively.
Clefts 9,10,11 are between the upper side of orbit and temple of the head numbered lateral to medial, respectively. The lateral clefts are placed horizontally on the face, cleft 6 through the cheek, cleft 7 runs from the lateral corner of the mouth to the eye and cleft 8 from the lateral cor­ner of the eye. Clefts 6,7,8 are associated with Treacher Collins syndrome, and cleft 8 is associ­ated with Goldenhar syndrome.

3.3 Recent Nomenclature

Till now, controversies exist on a universally accepted classication system. Millard in his review on classication systems, concluded that
“none has been universally accepted because of language differences, inaccuracies, omissions and lack of simplicity” [16]. Two of the recent
classication systems which have gained impor­tance are discussed below.
LAHSHAL system is a diagrammatic classi­cation of CLP, and according to this classica­tion, the mouth is divided into six parts, namely Right lip, Right alveolus, Right Hard palate, Soft palate, Left Hard palate, Left alveolus, and Left lip. The rst character is indicative of the
patient’s right lip, and the last character denotes the patient’s left lip. The capital letter in the LAHSHAL code indicates complete cleft and the small letter indicates an incomplete cleft, and no cleft is represented with a dot [21]. This was further modied by the Royal College of sur­geons as LASHAL denoting H for the hard palate.
The recent CLAP system is a more complete
description of cleft phenotype. The letter C serves as the reference point, and the letters L, A, and P denote the involvement of the lip, alveolus, and palate, respectively. The nomenclature for cleft lip alone would feature the letters CL; a cleft lip and alveolus with an intact palate as CLA and a cleft lip involving the alveolus and palate as CLAP.These uppercase letters specify anatomic involvement, and the lower case prex denotes laterality and severity [1]. Further subdivisions of the lower case are illustrated in Fig. 3.3. Figure3.4(a) is an illustration of bilateral com­plete CLP, and Fig. 3.4(b) is an illustration of complete unilateral CLP depicted in the Kernahan, LAHSAL, and CLAP systems.
All clinicians and academicians would agree to a uniform system of classication that would facilitate the description of cleft phenotype and for easy and accurate communication among practitioners [1]. Moreover, it is desirable that
the method also be adopted universally, such that data could be shared among groups and instantly understood [1].
Most classications based on numbering alone leads to misinterpretation in clinical prac­tice. The nal consensus of what is to be used as
a universal classication system is yet to be known but certainly, the Kernahan and Stark classication persists in widespread use [1].

The evaluation of the palate by ultrasonography is impaired due to the dome-shaped structure of the palate and due to acoustic shadowing from the surrounding facial bones [1]. Defects of the
lip and alveolar arch can be easily diagnosed by ultrasonography in mid trimester, but the diag­nosis of abnormalities of the palate remains a challenge [2]. A slight extension of the fetal neck
and uid in the oral cavity are the necessary pre­requisites to evaluate the palate in mid trimester.
First trimester evaluation of the palate is very much different from the mid trimester and cer­tainly has a lot of advantages. This chapter
describes the sonoanatomy of the palate in the rst trimester and describes the basic planes required for evaluation of the palate at 11–14weeks.
4.1 Normal Appearance
ofPalate
The hard palate consists of the primary palate and the bony part of the secondary palate (Fig.4.1). The hard palate presents a bony framework formed by the palatine processes of maxillae in front and horizontal plates of palatine bones behind. The bony hard palate can be visualized in the rst trimester 11–14week scan, while the soft

palate and uvula can be visualized in mid trimes­ter scan. The anatomical landmarks of the pal-
ate are best visualized after 13 weeks of gestation.
The palate is rather at in early gestation, and there is less shadowing from the facial bones, which favors complete visualization of the bony secondary palate. Moreover, as the
tooth buds do not develop in this period of gesta­tion, there is minimal shadowing from the alveo­lar arch, which enhances the visualization of the secondary palate in the axial view.
The other advantage is that uid in the oral cavity is not necessary for its visualization.
Figure4.2 depicts that the maxillary line which represents the palate can be visualized either with or without uid in the oral cavity.

4.2.1 Sagittal View

Adequate magnication of the face prole in midsagittal view is essential for the evaluation of the palate. In the sagittal section, the anatomical
landmark of importance in evaluating the pal­ate is the maxillary line (Fig. 4.2). The same
midsagittal section taken for measuring the nuchal translucency is ideal for evaluating the palate (Fig.4.2b).

The continuous maxillary line is seen when the palate is intact and is formed by fusion of the primary palate (premaxilla) and the secondary palate. In the midline, the secondary palate fuses with the vomer in its posterior part and the vomer can be visualized at the posterior two-thirds of the maxillary line.
The three components of the maxillary line seen in midsagittal section, namely the premax­illa, secondary palate and the vomer, are illus­trated in Fig. 4.3. The midsagittal view of the
secondary palate in a normal fetus always dis­plays a double echogenic line in the posterior aspect of the maxillary line, representing the

tion when the palate is intact. In palatine
clefts, only a portion of the maxillary line is imaged, and this line is either shortened or interrupted or absent depending on the type of cleft (Fig.4.4) [4]. The premaxillary portion
of the palate and the vomer is seen as two sepa­rate segments leading to interruption of the maxillary line in clefts involving the secondary palate [5].

4.2.2 Axial View

The alveolar arch of the maxilla and the echogenic secondary palate can be visualized in the trans­verse view of the base of the skull at the level of the pharynx. From a transverse section through the head at the level of the thalamus, the transducer is moved parallel to this plane in the caudal direction until the uid in the oropharynx is visualized [6].
When the transducer is gently moved further to and fro, the maxillary arch is identied, and the secondary palate is seen as an echogenic structure within the curved alveolar arch (Fig.4.5). Video 4.2 illustrates the technique of visualizing the transverse axial view of the palate from the BPD plane.
This is the same plane proposed for imaging the uvula in mid trimester by Wilhelm and Borgers to look for “the equals sign” [7]. In the
rst trimester, as the palate is at, the entire pal­ate itself can be visualized in this plane, whereas in mid trimester, the “equals sign” which is the uvula, can be demonstrated.
The intact alveolar margin in axial view rules out clefts involving the premaxilla
(Fig. 4.5a). The secondary palate is seen as an

echogenic structure within the alveolar arch. As the palate intervenes and separates the nasal cav­ity from the oral cavity, the vomer bone is not visible in this plane when the secondary palate is intact (Fig.4.5b).
Figure 4.5c is an axial section taken at 13 weeks of gestation showing the hard palate. Note that the palate is rather at at 13 weeks, whereas it is curved at 20 weeks of gestation (Fig.4.5d). As gestation age advances, the curva­ture of the palate increases and the palatal shelves are inadequately imaged.

4.2.3 Coronal View

Because of the scarce amount of soft tissue pres­ent in the upper lip in early fetal development, the nose chin view routinely done in mid trimester is not useful at this gestation age. The anatomical
landmark obtained just posterior to the nose chin view is the retronasal triangle, and this serves as an important landmark to identify the palatine cleft. The base of the retronasal triangle
in the coronal view is formed by the palate as described by Sepulveda etal. [8].

The coronal plane displays three easily recog­nizable echogenic lines, which resembles an out­lined triangle. The two frontal processes of the maxilla constitute the sides of the triangle, and the primary palate forms the base of the triangle (Fig.4.6a). Video 4.3 illustrates the translational movement from the nose chin view to the retro­nasal triangle view.

The retronasal triangle has higher echo­genicity than the surrounding tissue and hence an easily recognizable landmark that is useful in detecting cleft palate [8]. Figure4.6c illustrates the coronal sections in TUI note that the base of the triangle is intact in all the sections.

The midsagittal view alone is misleading, as the vomer in the midline may be mistaken for an intact palate in a fetus with a cleft of the second­ary palate. The pitfalls of using only one plane
