ABSTRACT Objectives: To assess the attitudes of pregnant women and mothers of children with orofacial clefts toward prenatal diagnosis of clefts and elective termination of pregnancy, and to investigate their opinion about who makes reproductive decisions in the family. Design: Two hundred subjects were included in the study prospectively regarding hypothetical prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of clefts. Setting: The study was done in a private tertiary care institution and a teaching hospital. Subjects/Participants: One hundred pregnant women consulting the Obstetrics department and 100 mothers of children with orofacial clefts in the Cleft and Craniofacial Unit were selected. Materials and Methods: Group I subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire and were shown preoperative and postoperative pictures of children treated for cleft lip and palate. Group II subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire. Results: Only 3% of Group I subjects and 2% of Group II opined that they would choose the elective termination of pregnancy if the fetus was diagnosed with a cleft on an ultrasound scan. In Group II, 70% subjects wished to have known about pregnancy affected with cleft prenatally and 96% said they would definitely avail ultrasound scans to determine pregnancy affected by clefts in future. Conclusions: Majority of the respondents from both the groups chose to continue with the pregnancy affected with a cleft when questioned regarding hypothetical prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of the cleft.

Aim: Orofacial clefts comprise cleft lip (CL) or cleft lip-palate (CLP) and are the most frequently encountered malformation of the facial region, accounting for approximately 1-2.2/1,000 live births. The aim of this study was to reveal the particularities regarding the prenatal diagnosis of orofacial clefts in a series of 11 cases diagnosed in a tertiary center.Material and methods: The study was performed in a tertiary diagnostic center for a period of 8 years (January 2010 – December 2017), on8125 patients that were assessed for screening or suspicion of malformations.Results: During the assessed period a number of 11 fetuses (0.13%) were diagnosed by 2D and 3D ultrasound with CL (4 cases) or CLP (7 cases). The smallest gestational age at diagnosis was of 14 weeks, whereas the highest was 35 weeks. Of the 7 cases diagnosed with CLP, 4 presented also other associated anomalies that involved the central nervous system, the kidney, the skeleton and the stomach. All 4 cases of CL had identifiable associated anomalies. Termination of pregnancy was encountered in 3 cases with CLP.Conclusions: CLP can be diagnosed even at the end of the 1st trimester of pregnancy. CL is usually diagnosed during the 2nd trimester ultrasound exam and is commonly an isolated anomaly.
