AWARENESS MONTH: CLEFT LIP AND PALATE

✨ July is Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness and Prevention Month! ✨ 

This month, we’re highlighting the rare conditions within ERN CRANIO. Today, we turn the spotlight on cleft lip and/or palate. 

Cleft lip and palate is a congenital condition when the sides of the roof of the mouth and /or lip do not fuse together as they should during pregnancy. While the condition can be treated successfully, it requires comprehensive approach with many different specialists (surgeons, nurses, speech therapist, orthodontist etc) working together in a coordinated manner. Within ERN CRANIO, specialists and patient representatives from across Europe come together to share knowledge, build expertise, and collaborate to improve care for patients with cleft lip and palate.
