Abstract
We report a case of lateral facial cleft (Tessier 7) diagnosed by sonography at a gestational age of 24 weeks. Two-dimensional sonography revealed a fetus appropriate for gestational age without obvious anomaly, but a three-dimensional sonogram with surface mode rendering showed asymmetrical macrostomia as a result of a left lateral facial cleft. Our case highlights the advantage of using three-dimensional sonography in the prenatal diagnosis of lateral facial clefts.
