    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric medicine
    • Genetics
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a congenital condition affecting palate structure.
    • Accurate prevalence data for SMCP is often difficult to obtain due to subtle presentation.
    • Early identification is crucial for managing potential associated complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of submucous cleft palate (SMCP) in a pediatric population in Zagreb.
    • To investigate the occurrence of SMCP in families of patients with cleft palate.
    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges associated with identifying SMCP.

    Main Methods:

    • Screening examination of 9720 school children aged 6-13 years in Zagreb.
    • Clinical examination of 102 relatives of patients diagnosed with cleft palate.

  • Data collection on the incidence of SMCP and cleft uvula.

    • Main Results:

    • Five cases of SMCP were identified among 9720 school children, yielding a prevalence of 0.05% (1:1944).
    • Cleft uvula was observed in 232 children.
    • Two relatives of cleft palate patients were diagnosed with SMCP, indicating a potential familial link and diagnostic difficulty.

    Conclusions:

    • The prevalence of SMCP in Zagreb school children is low but significant.
    • Undiagnosed SMCP cases in children and relatives underscore the need for improved diagnostic awareness.
    • Difficulties in recognition complicate accurate incidence data collection for SMCP.
