Abstract
The article presents a study that compares the performance of sonographic techniques such as reverse-face, flipped-face, and oblique-face for the diagnosis of cleft lip and palate (CLP). It details the specific procedures used for the three techniques in visualizing the soft and hard palate of the 50 fetuses with no CLP and 10 cases with CLP. It reveals the capacity of the oblique-face or flipped-face to provide a well visualization of the soft palate in selected areas.
