Abstract:
We reviewed 237 cases of children with cleft lip and/or palate from the Department of Human Communication. Sociodemographic data, diagnoses, surgeries, family structure, family problems reported, psychological evaluation, conduct report, disabilities and emotional indicators were all considered. All these categories are reviewed from a systemic perspective in which each is directly inter-related and directly responsible (along with other factors that must be researched) for the outcome and well being of the patient.
