Abstract
Cleft lip and palate are one of the most common congenital anomalies. This anomaly occurs during the organogenesis period from 4th week to 10th week of gestation because the frontonasal prominence fails to fuse with the maxillary prominence. Pathophysiology of the cleft lip and palate is multifactorial. Several genetic mutations and environmental factors are associated with cleft lip and palate.
Aims and Scope: This chapter presents a brief overview of the etiology and the etiopathology of the cleft lip and palate.
