title: 18q-syndrome with cleft lip and palate. A clinically diagnosed case.
abstract: A case of a child with 18q-syndrome was encountered. The patient presented cleft lip and palate, narrow auditory canals, overlapping fingers, undescended testes and micropenis. Chromosome analysis demonstrated partial deletion of the long arm of one chromosome 18 in the patient and normal chromosomes in the parents. A cheiloplasty for repair of bilateral complete cleft lip was performed.
