Abstract
Objective To assess the frequency of delayed puberty in adolescents with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P). Design This was a cross-sectional study of 203 patients with CL/P and no associated syndromes treated at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo, Bauru, Brazil. We evaluated boys aged 14-19 years and girls aged 13-18 years. The patients were classified according to Tanner stages of sexual development. The age of menarche was recorded. Patients were assigned to three groups according to cleft type: isolated cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), and isolated cleft palate (CP). The results were expressed as frequencies and averages and compared with pubertal changes described for typically developing adolescents as reported in the literature. Results Subjects were 115 boys and 88 girls. All boys in the CL group and the CP group had already started puberty, and two boys in the CLP group (2.3%) had delayed puberty. All girls had started puberty. The average age at menarche was 12.3 years in the CL group, 12.1 years in the CLP group, and 12.5 years in the CP group. Conclusions The frequency of delayed puberty and the average age at menarche in adolescents with CL/P and no associated genetic syndromes or anomalies were within the expected range for typically developing adolescents (i.e., those without CL/P) in the same age group.

Abstract
Objective To study the growth of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) from 2 to 10 years of age and to assess whether growth varied from that of children without UCLP (typical children). Design Physical growth was one of the outcome measures of a National Institutes of Health–sponsored longitudinal, prospective clinical trial conducted by the University of Florida and the University of São Paulo. Setting Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP), Bauru, Brazil. Main Outcome Measures Height and weight were prospectively measured for 360 healthy children with UCLP who were nonsyndromic, belonged to median socioeconomic status, and received health care at HRAC-USP. To compare growth of children with UCLP to that of typical children, growth curves for UCLP were developed and compared with World Health Organization curves for 2006 and 2007, which were used as reference for typical children. Third-degree polynomials were used to explain the relationship of length and weight with age. Confidence limits of 95% were used for the mean curve using the statistic Z ~ N (0,1). Results Children with UCLP from 2 to 10 years old presented height and weight growth curves similar to those of typical children for both genders. Conclusion Children with UCLP from 2 to 10 years old presented physical growth similar to that of typical children.

Abstract
This paper attempts to balance our knowledge of holoprosencephalic spectra and continuities with important distinctions and discontinuities. Prevalence studies and syndrome delineation are briefly reviewed. The following topics receive detailed coverage: human teratogens, special aspects of forebrain and hindbrain malformations, aprosencephaly/atelencephaly, association with neural tube defects, current assessment of "facial principles," and endocrine abnormalities.
