- Abstract
We report the postnatal diagnosis of Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) in a foetus found to have an isolated right cleft lip and palate by ultrasound examination. After prenatal genetic counselling, the parents declined further evaluation by amniocentesis. At delivery, the infant was also found to have labial pits in the lower lip in addition to the cleft lip and palate identified by ultrasound consistent with VWS. Although VWS is rare, its autosomal dominant inheritance and variable penetrance should prompt additional modalities to more thoroughly evaluate the extent of other organ system and more extensive craniofacial anomalies.
