Resumen
ROCA ORTIZ, . Joel Luis et al. Caracterización clínica del labio leporino con fisura palatina o sin ésta en Cuba. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1998, vol.70, n.1, pp. 43-47. ISSN 1561-3119.
288 newborns with cleft lips with or without cleft palate, either associated or not to other types of defects, were detected among 8 004 malformed newborns included in the Cuban Birth Defects Register from April 1985 to December 1994. This defect alone was present in 77.4 % of cases whereas cleft palate was also present in two-thirds of cases. Male newborns were predominant. Left-hand anatomical defect location prevailed in both sexes. As to the associated defects, chromosomal syndromes accounting for 8 % were predominant from the pathogenic view point; in addition, the prevailing syndrome was Trisomy 13 which was found in 21 cases.
