Introduction and importance The most common congenital defect involving the face and jaws is cleft lip and palate. Exactly where they appear is determined by the locations at which fusion of the various facial processes failed to occur. The lip or the lip and palate together fail to close in approximately 1–1.5 in every 1000 babies born. Case presentation The present case report is of a 36-week- and 4-day-old male fetus with a birth weight of 2100 gr, a height of 41 cm, and a head circumference of 35 cm. He was born to a 42-year-old mother by Cesarean section at Kosar Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Urmia, Iran. In the initial physical examination, hydrocephalus, eye abnormalities, cleft lip, and cleft palate were observed. Unfortunately, the newborn expired two days after birth. Clinical discussion The main characteristics of this syndrome are mental retardation, anophthalmia or microphthalmia, abnormal nostrils, and disorders of the central nervous system. Conclusion Early diagnosis during pregnancy using diagnostic methods and proper management of this abnormality should be strongly emphasized to prevent further harm to the newborn and the mother with this syndrome.

Introduction and importance: Pain is the most common symptom in cancer patients that can affect their performance and quality of life. The present study aimed to determine the effect of hypnotherapy on the intensity of pain in children with cancer.Case presentation: This is a case study with a single-subject research design, in which a total of 3 female children with cancer were recruited using voluntary response sampling. Classical hypnotherapy was conducted for patients in 8 treatment sessions with a 1-month postintervention follow-up. Participants completed the Oucher Pain Scale (OPS) at 5 stages including before the intervention, third, fifth, and eighth hypnotherapy sessions, and 1 month after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using a statistical report on the recovery rate and effect size. Clinical discussion: The results showed that hypnotherapy had a significant effect on the intensity of pain, in the treatment and follow-up stages. Conclusions: It can be stated that the use of hypnotherapy has been highly effective in reducing the intensity of pain in children with cancer.
