“…The age of patients ranged from 0.5 to 30 years with an average of 11.1 in a study of Saudi Arabia [7]. In a study conducted in Brazil, age ranged from 2 days to 87 years and mean age was 12.9 years; 13.5±5.6 years and median age was 9.9 years [8,9]. A study in Kenya, age ranged between 1 week and 45 years with average age of 10 months.75% of the cleft cases were in between 0-5 years which was higher than our study [10].…”
