Cleft palate in two syndromes.

Patients with cleft palates with or without cleft lip need more special attention at birth when the cleft is associated with other malformations. For example, the Pierre-Robin and the Klippel-Feil Syndromes are both well known for the special problems they present. Reported here are three cases, with Crouzon's and two with Franceschetti Syndromes, all of whom have palatal clefts.
