Background: need for more reliable knowledge about speech development & surgical techniques is critical in caring for children born with cleft lip & palate. Aim and objectives: The main goal of this research was to assess the level of intelligence in children born with cleft lip & palate and hypospadias and to find if there is correlation among cleft lip & palate & hypospadias malformations and IQ. Subjects & methods: This cross-sectional research was conducted in pediatric surgery clinics at Al-Azhar University Hospitals. Research was showed on 52 children with cleft lip & palate and hypospadias. All patients were divided into 2 groups: Cleft lip & palate group (n=30) & Hypospadias group (n=22). Results: regarding Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient of Wechsler Intelligence Scale of studied children. Full-Scale Intelligence in Cleft lip and palate group ranged from 72 to 104 with mean ± SD = 86.4 ± 7.56 while in Hypospadias group the Full-Scale Intelligence ranged from 66 to 99 with mean ± SD = 86.18 ± 8.02. Conclusion: The present study assessed the association between intelligence level and incidence of cleft lip & palate & hypospadias.
