Abstract

The aim of the present study is to present the advantages of early diagnosis of congenital cleft lip and palate in the prevention of abandonment of children in foster homes. Methods: An anonymous survey surveyed the opinions of 70 parents of children with congenital cleft lip and palate. Results: Prenatal diagnosis was performed in only 20.0% of pregnancies, and 24.3% of cases had a family history. Although there is a risk factor for the birth of a child with a congenital cleft lip and palate in the presence of a family burden, only in 7.1% of cases a prenatal diagnosis of the fetus was performed. When considering the behavior of parents in relation to the presence of risk factors, it was found that in 85.7% of cases prenatal diagnosis was performed only in parents of Bulgarian origin, the remaining 14.3% are for parents of Turkish origin. There is no practice of conducting prenatal diagnosis for parents of Roma origin, although 23.5% of cases of birth of children with congenital anomalies have a family burden, often on the part of the father. Conclusion: The application of 3D and 4D in the early diagnosis of congenital cleft lip and palate will help the psychological preparation of parents for the birth of a child with a congenital anomaly. This will help to avoid the initial shock and the reaction of abandoning the child.
