Ítem Siamese twins with craniofacial duplication and bilateral cleft lip/palate in a ceramic representation of the Chimú culture (Peru): a comparative analysis with a current case.(Cambridge University Press, 2014-06-01) Hernandez Amaris, María F.Craniofacial duplication or diprosopus is a very rare malformation that is present in approximately 0.4% of conjoined twins. Here is presented a case of craniofacial duplication in association with bilateral cleft lip/palate in both heads found in a ceramic representation from the early Chimú culture from Peru. A comparative analysis is made with a current case of a 28-week-old fetus with similar characteristics. After reviewing the medical literature on conjoined twins, very few reports of facial cleft in both twins were found, with no reports at all of bilateral cleft lip/palate. This ceramic crock is considered one of the first representations suggestive of craniofacial duplication, and probably the first reporting it in association with facial cleft.Ítem Prevalencia de defectos congénitos en Risaralda, 2010-2013(Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2016-12-01) Montoya, Juan JoséIntroduction: The data regarding birth defects at local levels in developing countries like Colombia are scarce. Objective: To describe the profile of congenital abnormalities in the province of Risaralda, Colombia. Materials and methods: We included the information on infants with structural and functional abnormalities at birth between June, 2010, and December, 2013, from records of the Instituto Nacional de Salud, and compared it with those of children born in the same period in a local clinic participating in the Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations. We analyzed the data using Stata 10 (R). Results: We found a prevalence of nine defects per 1,000 newborns from the total live births in Risaralda. The local clinic registered in the Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations registered a prevalence of 34 defects per 1,000 births. Most frequent defects were heart defects, followed by cleft lip and palate, abdominal wall defects, skeletal dysplasia, hydrocephalus, polydactyly and Down syndrome.
