X-ray of the skull of an aborted 18-week fetus showing a cleft palate,one example of the gross multiple abnormalities that caused the fetus to be aborted. The cleft palate,the incomplete fusion of the bony roof of the mouth,is revealed by the V-shaped notch (white) that projects upwards (in an 11 o'clock position) towards the nose. Cleft palate is frequently associated with other developmental defects,which in this case were severe & multiple; any underlying syndrome was not diagnosed | |
