Prenatal ultrasound diagnostics and sociopsychological support as rehabilitation measures in patients with congenital cleft palate complicated by anomalies of other organs and systems

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prenatal ultrasound diagnostics and sociopsychological support in the early rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft palate combined with malformations of other organs and systems complement the unified algorithm of dynamic monitoring and rehabilitation treatment of these patients. Thus, predicting the choice of techniques and the system of rehabilitation prescriptions became possible.

AIM: To present the experience of prenatal ultrasound diagnostics and sociopsychological support during pregnancy for the early rehabilitation of a patient with cleft palate combined with malformations of other organs and systems.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in the Multiprofile Clinical Medical Center “Bonum” in Yekaterinburg. For 24 years, from the analysis of medical records of the organizational and rehabilitation process of 2,475 patients with congenital cleft lip and/or palate receiving comprehensive care (1998–2022), 823 (33.25%) patients who had with cleft palate and malformations of other organs and systems were enrolled in this study. The discharge epicrises of the pregnancy and the timing of intrauterine ultrasound diagnostics of the fetus were studied, and the history of childbirth and anamnesis of newborns and timing of their routing and registration in the specialized “Bonum” Center were analyzed. At the time of the initial outpatient appointment at the center, parents’ responses to a survey on the nature of emotional and psychological experiences during the prenatal ultrasound examination of the fetus, period of “bearing” pregnancy, and birth of a baby with a complex anatomical and physiological pathology were analyzed.

RESULTS: Ultrasound examination of the fetus during uterine development registered 292 (35.48%) of 823 cases of a combination of congenital cleft palate and anomalies of other organs and systems. The main forms of malformations in the fetus were established in the second (n=99, 33.90%) and third (n=185, 63.36%) trimester pregnancy screening. Mothers who were told about the results of ultrasound diagnostics of the fetus showed anxiety and emotional lability. The use of psychocorrectional and socially significant measures during the diagnosis of fetal pathologies and at the time deciding whether to continue pregnancy, as well as the newborn period, which relieved the psycho-emotional tension of parents, was proposed.

CONCLUSION: Early rehabilitation of patients with congenital cleft palate combined with malformations of other organs and systems should be provided as an integral part of the complex rehabilitation therapy. Sociopsychological support of the family from the period of prenatal diagnosis of the fetus who had multiple malformations is necessary at all stages of pregnancy and rehabilitation treatment of the child.
