A case of deletion 9p syndrome with soft and hard cleft palate

Abstract

Abstract Background Deletion 9p syndrome is a rare structural chromosomal disorder. Various phenotypes of deletion 9p syndrome have been reported; however, cleft palate has not been reported in many cases. Case presentation We report the case of a child with deletion 9p syndrome with soft and hard cleft palate, ventricular septal defect, broad and narrow forehead, long philtrum, highly arched eyebrows, binocular dissection, upward‐slanting palpebral fissures, low flat nose, and triangular cranium. Pushback palatoplasty was performed at the age of 1 year and 9 months. Conclusion This report contributes to the accumulation of reports on the phenotype of deletion 9p syndrome.
