At 24 weeks of gestation, a cleft lip of 6mm should be classified as which degree and will it be associated with cleft palate?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This congenital anomaly is primarily caused by developmental disorders in the fetus's facial structure due to certain pathogenic factors during the 4th to 10th week of pregnancy. A fetal cleft lip and palate at 24 weeks will not heal on its own in the womb.
