The anatomic form of each defect was characterized by use of a widely used human oral-cleft classification system on the basis of CT findings and clinical images. Other defect morphological features, including shape, relative size, facial symmetry, and vomer involvement, were also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> 9 anatomic forms of cleft were identified. Two anatomic forms were identified in the 23 dogs with cleft palate, in which differences in defect shape and size as well as vomer abnormalities were also evident. Seven anatomic forms were observed in 9 dogs with cleft lip or cleft lip and palate, and most of these dogs had incisive bone abnormalities and facial asymmetry.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> The morphological features of congenitally acquired cleft lip, cleft palate, and cleft lip and palate were complex and varied among dogs. The features identified here may be useful for surgical planning, developing of clinical coding schemes, or informing genetic, embryological, or clinical research into birth defects in dogs and other species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.78.8.926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,24]],"date-time":"2017-07-24T19:36:38Z","timestamp":1500924998000},"page":"926-933","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Morphological evaluation of clefts of the lip, palate, or both in dogs"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Santiago","family":"Peralta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadine","family":"Fiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimi H.","family":"Kan-Rohrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank J.
