Ultrasound imaging of the fetal secondary palate: Methodological description of a two-dimensional approach and a case series.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The study aims to describe our two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound approach to visualize the fetal secondary palate and plot its growth curve and to describe and demonstrate its clinical implementation. METHODS:This is a two parts retrospective study. First, we measured the antero-posterior length of the bony secondary palate, from the soft to hard palate interface (SHPI) line to the alveolar ridge, blindly by two operators during routine scans of low-risk fetuses, and plot a longitudinal growth curve. In the second part, we describe four cases of prenatal diagnosis of secondary palate cleft. RESULTS:Sixty-eight fetuses were included: 14 to 15 weeks (n = 20), 21 to 24 weeks (n = 32), and 29 to 35 weeks (n = 16). The bony secondary palate elongates along gestation from a mean of 5.3 mm (+/-0.46 mm) at 14 to 15 weeks to 15.9 mm (+/-1.7 mm) at 29 to 35 weeks. We found high intraobserver and interobserver correlation between measurements. All four cases diagnosed by this approach were confirmed postnatally. CONCLUSIONS:The SHPI, representing the normally developed secondary bony palate, can be imaged in the fetus by direct 2D ultrasound as early as 14 weeks. A gap within or nonvisualization of the SHPI is highly suggestive for a secondary palate cleft.
