Best Doctors for Cleft Palate Treatment in Bhopal

Cleft palate is the condition in which there is an opening in the roof of the mouth called palate. It mainly occurs due to incomplete fusion of the palate during the development of the fetus. A cleft palate is seen along with a cleft lip in most of the cases in children. A cleft palate can cause difficulty in feeding milk both through bottle and breast, trouble in speaking, accumulation of fluid at the ear drum, thus affecting the hearing, and teeth problems in the upper jaw. This can be diagnosed through prenatal ultrasound scanning and can be seen during the birth of the child. Cleft palate repair can be done at the age of 1 year. The surgeons perform the surgery by closing the separation, cutting the sides of the cleft, and suturing it together. Also, surgeons perform ear tube surgery thus lowering the risk of accumulation of fluid causing hearing loss.
