The kleeblattschädel deformity is a rare craniofacial condition typified by its trilobed, cloverleaf skull. The pathophysiology of this process is controversial. The morphologic, radiographic, and histologic abnormalities identified in the cranial base of an 18-gestational-week fetus with kleeblattschädel skull have not been described previously. Recently, the intrauterine diagnosis of kleeblattschädel was established by serial ultrasonography and, based on this evidence, the fetus was aborted. The fetus was studied extensively. Standard radiographs and high-resolution CT scans were obtained. Three-dimensional, reformatted contour surface images were constructed from the CT scan data. The cranial base was examined grossly, radiographically, and histologically. Histologic microanatomic study concentrated on structures of the mid-sagittal cranial base from the occiput to the mid maxilla. The distorted cranial architecture in kleeblattschädel deformity has, in the past, been attributed largely to the cranial base deformity which secondarily distorts the developing brain. Our study, however, suggests that the calvarium itself may be the primary focus of abnormal events leading to synostosis. The findings in this study seem to be Inconsistent with earlier theories about the abnormal development of craniodysostoses.

Objective: To investigate anatomical variations and abnormalities of cervical spine morphology in unoperated infants with cleft lip and palate. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional investigation of infants born with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate using computed tomography scans acquired for investigation of a spectrum of clinical conditions. Setting: Computed tomography scan data were obtained from 29 unoperated cleft lip and palate infants and 12 noncleft infants of Malay origin, ages 0 to 12 months. Methods: Observational study of cervical spine computed tomography scans. Heights of cervical vertebral bodies (C2-C7) and intervertebral spaces were measured from landmarks identified from computed tomography reformats and three-dimensional computed tomography reconstructions. Linear modeling of heights and spaces, with age as a covariate, was undertaken to identify differences between the samples. Results: Anomalous features observed in the cleft lip and palate sample included short posterior arch of C1 (2/29), abnormal development of the anterior arch of C1 (2/29), and fusions of the posterior arch of C2 and C3 (2/29). No anomalies of the cervical spine were observed in the noncleft sample. Although the heights of three cervical vertebral bodies were significantly smaller and two intervertebral spaces were significantly larger in infants with cleft lip and palate compared with noncleft infants (p < .05), overall length of the cervical spine did not differ significantly between the samples. Conclusion: There was evidence for subtle upper spinal anomalies in the infant cleft lip and palate population. Our finding of reduced size of some cervical vertebral bodies may reflect delayed upper spinal development in infants with cleft lip and palate.
