Cleft palate in spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita: case reports

Abstract

Cleft palate is one of the common features of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC). However, there are few clinical data about cleft palate in SEDC. We report four patients with cleft palate and SEDC including two with overt cleft palate and two with submucous cleft palate. Our results suggested that SEDC associated with cleft palate should be treated in the same way as solitary cleft palate, and submucous cleft palate may be more common in patients with SEDC than previously appreciated.
