Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are congenital defects caused by faulty fusion of the embryonic processes that participate in the formation of oral and nasal cavities, this leads to a number of functional, social and psychological alterations. The incidence is estimated at 1/700 live birth, resulting in a high cost to the public health system. In 2005 these malformations were incorporated in the Regime of Explicit Health Guarantees (GarantÃas ExplÃcitas en Salud  GES), also known as Plan AUGE, a health program developed in Chile, that has been conceived and implemented to guarantee access, quality, protection and recovery for certain pathologies. To determine which clefts are more prevalent in patients who were treated in the Hospital and compare these results are consistent with international literature, along with which gender is more affected and their association with other syndromes. Medical records of 169 patients with CLP were reviewed. Their gender, type of cleft according to its anatomical classification and their association with other syndromes were recorded. Ten percent of the CLP were associated with syndromes, there being a higher prevalence among male infants (56.8%) than females (43.2%). Incidence of cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, was higher than the incidence of isolated cleft palate. CLP has a heterogeneous distribution. This creates the need to know, which clefts are more prevalent in our patients and to compare with other results.
Las Fisuras Labio Palatinas (FLP) son defectos congénitos causados por una mala fusión de los procesos embrionarios que participan en la formación de las cavidades oral y nasal, que generan una seria de alteraciones funcionales, sociales y pscicológicas. La incidencia de las FLP se estima en 1/700 nacidos vivos, lo que genera un importante gasto a nivel de salud pública. En el 2005 éstas malformaciones fueron incorporadas al "Régimen de GarantÃas ExplÃcitas en Salud (GES)", también conocido como Plan AUGE, éste es un programa de salud concebido y creado para garantizar el acceso, calidad, protección y recuperación de ciertas patologÃas. Determinar que fisuras con más prevalentes en pacientes que han sido tratados en el Hospital y comparar estos resultados con la literatura internacional, además determinar que género se ve más afectado y si existe asociación con sÃndromes. Se revisaron las fichas clÃnicas de 169 pacientes con FLP. Registrándose el género, el tipo FLP de acuerdo a su clasificación anatómica y la asociación con otros sÃndromes.
