The radiographs were divided into two groups, with group A having those of patients with cleft lip and palate exposure, and control group B having those with non-exposure. \u00a0Within group A, unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate cases were compared. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.&#x0D;\nResults: Of the 220 subjects, 110(50%) were in group A with a mean age of 15\u00b16.3 years, and 110(50%) were in group B with a mean age of 15\u00b12.1 years. Within group A, 56(50.9%) subjects had unilateral and 54(49.1%) had bilateral cleft lip and palate. Cervical vertebral anomalies were found in 71(64.5%) patients and 45(40.9%) controls (p&lt;0.001). Among those with bilateral condition, it was found in 41(75.9%) and in unilateral 56(56.6%) (p&lt;0.05). Occipitalisation was 21(38.9%) in bilateral and 4(7.1%) in unilateral cases (p&lt;0.001). Fusion was higher in bilateral patients 16(63%) compared to 23(41.1%) unilateral (p&lt;0.05). Posterior arch deficiencies were found in 30(27.3%) patients in group A and 18(16.4%) controls in group B (p&lt;0.05). Fusion was seen in 57(51.8%) group A patients and 33(30%) group B controls (p&lt;0.001).&#x0D;\nConclusion: Cervical vertebral anomalies were mostly found in patients with cleft lip and palate. &#x0D;\nContinuous....<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma.213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]],"date-time":"2020-10-05T14:59:19Z","timestamp":1601909959000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluation of the cervical vertebral anomalies in patients with cleft lip and palate in Aegean region of Turkey"],"prefix":"10.47391","author":[{"family":"Ege Dogan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Gulen Ozses Ergican","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Servet Dogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]],"date-time":"2020-10-16T15:45:18Z","timestamp":1602863118000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/1529"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma.213","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-9982","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,5]]}}}
