“…In the current study, 64% of the children were found to have CLP, which was similar to another study done by Fathy et al where 48% of the children had a cleft involving the palate, 30% had only a cleft lip, and 22% had a cleft involving both cleft lip and palate [13]. This being a hospital-based study and CLP requiring multiple follow-up visits requiring long-term treatments could have resulted in higher recruitment of this type of defect.…”

Background The etiology of cleft lip and palate (CL/P) remains largely unidentified. Evidence-based research shows a strong association with genetics, environmental factors, nutritional deficiency, smoking, alcohol, and drug misuse. Despite the increase in knowledge and widespread access to medical care beliefs contrary to science, folklores on CLP still occur in most developing countries. Methodology The study design was cross-sectional in nature and involved a sample of 136 parents of children with cleft lip and palate reporting to Smile Train Cleft Centers. It was conducted by using a self-structured questionnaire from December to March 2019. Results The highest recorded response was holding sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, or needles, during pregnancy (40.4%) and the least recorded response was for pregnant women going out on an auspicious day (3.7%). Conclusion The current study demonstrated that a majority of the parent’s socioeconomic status was upper lower class. Some parents still believe in the myths around the etiology of CLP despite the advances in medicine and technology.

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) presents significant challenges in airway management and postoperative care, especially in infants undergoing cleft palate repair. The most critical task for paediatric anaesthetists is securing the airway. The presence of aero-digestive disorders makes postoperative care equally challenging, which is often underemphasised. This report describes the management of a 17-month-old male child with PRS and a partial cleft palate who aspirated postoperatively following palatoplasty. Prompt intervention with nebulised bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, and intravenous antibiotics led to significant clinical improvement. The case underscores the necessity of developing standardised guidelines for managing children post-surgery.
