Ultrasonographic examination is widely used for screening of abnormal findings on prenatal screening. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate of the fetus can also be screened by using ultrasonography. Presence of abnormal findings of the fetal lip or palate can be detected by the imaging professionals. However, such findings may not be familiar to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons can use ultrasonographic imaging of fetal cleft lip with or without cleft palate to provide information regarding treatment protocols and outcomes to the parent. Therefore, surgeons should also be able to identify the abnormal details from the images, in order to setup proper treatment planning after the birth of the fetus. We report two cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate that the official readings of prenatal ultrasonography were inconsistent with the actual facial structure identified after birth. Also, critical and practical points in fetal ultrasonographic diagnosis are to be discussed.
超声检查广泛用于产前筛查异常情况。胎儿唇裂伴或不伴腭裂也可通过超声检查进行筛查。成像专业人员能够检测到胎儿唇部或腭部的异常情况。然而，口腔颌面外科医生可能对这些发现并不熟悉。口腔颌面外科医生可以利用胎儿唇裂伴或不伴腭裂的超声成像，向患儿家长提供有关治疗方案和预后的信息。因此，外科医生也应能够从图像中识别异常细节，以便在胎儿出生后制定合适的治疗计划。我们报告两例唇裂伴或不伴腭裂病例，产前超声检查的官方报告与出生后实际发现的面部结构不一致。此外，还将讨论胎儿超声诊断中的关键和实用要点。
