Özet
Witteveen-Kolk syndrome (WITKOS) is an exceptionally uncommon genetic and neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by developmental delay, mild intellectual disability, and craniofacial dysmorphic features. Although cleft palate (CP) has rarely been reported in WITKOS, CP in this condition has not been assessed in detail. Here, we present a case of WITKOS with a CP. The patient was a 2-year-old male and he was referred to our clinic with CP and dysmorphic clinical findings. Screening for CP should be considered when a diagnosis of WITKOS is made. CP repair can be performed successfully after neurodevelopmental maturation is complete.
