An Analysis of Faciol Clefts
Abstract
This paper is based on our observations in 833 cases of facial clefts seen at Varanasi. The clefts predominated in males in the ratio of 2.1: 1. Isolated cleft palates were equal in the two sexes, Besides this cleft palate alone constituted a much higher percentage in some of the Northern Countries than observed in India. Other congential anomalies were present in 5%, of the cases.
