CHARGE syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a range of malformations affecting multiple organs and systems, including Coloboma, Heart defects, choanal Atresia, Retarded growth, Genital anomalies, and Ear abnormalities. Among these manifestations, cleft lip and palate are common orofacial anomalies observed in patients with this syndrome. In this presentation, we will report on a case of a patient with CHARGE syndrome associated with a cleft lip and palate, and we will describe the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to characterize craniofacial anomalies. This case report highlights the importance of three-dimensional imaging in the evaluation of patients with complex anomalies, such as those witnessed in CHARGE syndrome.
