Abstract
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are among the most
common congenital craniofacial anomalies, with a complex etiology involving
genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. These anomalies result from a
failure of normal facial fusion during embryogenesis and can significantly
affect feeding, speech, hearing, dental development, facial growth, and
psychosocial well-being. This detailed review integrates current evidence to
provide an in-depth analysis of the embryology, etiology, epidemiology,
clinical features, multidisciplinary management, and long-term outcomes
associated with CLP. Despite advances in surgical techniques and team-based
care, lifelong challenges persist, underscoring the need for comprehensive
follow-up and ongoing research to optimize outcomes and address disparities in
care.
