- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile of labiopalatine clefts in children cared for at a care and research center on craniofacial anomalies. Method: this is an epidemiological, documentary and cross-sectional study that assessed 116 children, aged from 0 to 12 incomplete years, with labial and/or palatine cleft cared for at a reference center in western Paraná from February 2013 to February 2017 Results: there was a predominance of male patients (n=67; 57.8%), living in Cascavel (n=58; 50%) and over five years old at the time of the first consultation (n=41; 35.3%). The most frequent clefts were typified as: complete extension (n=56; 50.9%), labiopalatine (n=50; 43.1%) and left-sided unilateral (n=35; 44.3%). Conclusions: the acquired data are in accordance with the findings of the pertinent literature and show the need for measures that enable the early access of cleft children to this specialized service.
