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.
