Ectomesenchimal cells, placed near the embryonal tube, migrate to down and share in facial and cardiac structures. Migration or differentiation disorders of these cell causes cleft lip/ or palate and congenital heart disease (CHD). This item was performed to determine co-appearing of cleft and CHD and to know adjutant factors to that for better management of these patient."nMaterials and Methods: Two hundered children with cleft lip and palate were registered. Finding was analyzed by fisher's exact text and chi-square tests."nResults: CHD is ten times of normal population in this research (p< 0.01 and odd ratio 10.39) and incidence of CHD in cleft is high in cleft patient if another congenital animalies were presented (p< 0.001, odd ratio 5.18)."nConclusion: By attention to higher incidence of CHD in cleft patients, it is advised to cardiologist consulting before cleft surgery for better managing."n"n"n
