Incomplete foetal development can lead to severe facial defects, such as cleft lip and palate. Depending on the severity of the deformity, the child may have a little notch to a large gap that extends to the nose or a split in the palate that extends to the front of the mouth. This ailment develops in the third trimester of pregnancy.
