Question 48#

Classifications, scoring systems and syndromes that are relevant to cleft lip and palate and its management include all except: 

A. GOSPAS scale
B. Kernahan’s classification
C. LAHSHAL classification
D. Kubitza’s scale
E. Catch-22 syndrome

Correct Answer is D

Comment:

Kubitza’s scale. This is incorrect. GOSPAS is the Great Ormond Street Hospital Speech Assessment tool. Kernahan and Stark described the striped Y classification for cleft lip and palate assessment. Catch-22 syndrome is synonymous with Di George syndrome, velocardofacial syndrome and Shprintzen’s syndrome and is due to a deletion at the 22q11.2 chromosome locus. The LAHSHAL classification of clefts was described by Kriens.
