| Popis: | Introduction and Background: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital craniofacial anomaly. Prenatal diagnosis of the craniofacial anomalies is possible with the advent of newer imaging modalities. The identification of the defect at an early stage in the pregnancy helps the parents to be well informed and counseled regarding the treatment possibilities and outcomes of cleft lip and palate (CLP) treatment. Objectives: To analyze the psychological effects of prenatal diagnosis of CLP on the parents. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar searches were made with search strings “prenatal diagnosis cleft lip palate,” “antenatal diagnosis,” “anomaly scan,” “psychological effect cleft lip palate,” and “prenatal counseling cleft lip palate.” Of the results obtained, studies which evaluated the psychological aspects of parents of cleft children were further included in the study. Results: Electronic search yielded 500 articles after duplication removal. Forty studies concentrated on the results of the scan and their implications predominantly in the diagnosis and management of cleft and other related abnormalities. Eight studies discussed the effects of prenatal diagnosis and counseling on the parents. Conclusion: Prenatal diagnosis enables appropriate and timely counseling of the parents by the cleft team and helps instill a sense of preparedness for the family which highly improves the quality of treatment received by the child enabling a near-to-normal quality and standard of life. |
