ABSTRACT: Congenital cleft lip palate occurs heterogeneously
worldwide. Out of the one-hundred and thirty million newborns worldwide, 3.6
million identified with a disability, 7.6 million (approximately 5.8%) being
born with a congenital anomaly. Additionally, 7.5% of them are registered with
having cleft lip palate. In Mongolia, the statistics from the Mongolia Health
Department reported that in 2012 cleft lip palate occurred among 1 out of 1072
individuals in Mongolia [1]. Over the years, there have been many measures taken to ameliorate these
issues around the world. Recently, the sophisticated three-dimensional
ultra-sonography equipment is evaluable in pediatric science. Thanks to this
equipment, we are able to detect the orofacial defects and diagnose infants
properly in advance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the lip and
palate of a fetus by using three-dimensional ultra-sonography in the second and
third trimester of gestational period. Our research aims to detect fetus
defects in the early stage of birth and diagnose it in advance [9]. Due to the lack of research on the above-mentioned issues in Mongolia,
we decided to conduct this research by using three-dimensional ultra-sonography
to detect and diagnose congenital cleft lip palate. By doing this research, we
will be able to better assist those suffering from congenital malformation in Mongolia.
