title: Gastroschisis associated with cleft lip and palate.
abstract: Gastroschisis is a common congenital abdominal wall defect. Rarely, it is associated with extraabdominal midline congenital anomalies. Oral clefts are the commonest craniofacial congenital midline defects. They can be associated with other midline defects like omphalocele. We believe these are the first 3 case reports of gastroschisis and cleft palate occurring in the same patient.
