Ultrasound antenatal diagnosis of cleft palate by a new technique: the 3D ‘reverse face’ view

To assess the clinical value of a novel three‐dimensional (3D) ultrasound technique, the reverse face view (3D RF view), in the antenatal categorization of facial clefting and in particular clefting of the hard palate.
