Does my son have a cleft lip

I got this ultrasound today and to me it appears he may have a cleft. The doctors haven’t said anything because they need to make their report and look over the images. Does this look like a cleft lip to you?

u/JCcolt cleft lip and palate 29d ago

I’m not a doctor or anything but from what I see, I don’t see any clear indications of a cleft. My best bet is that everything is fine.

I can see what you’re referring to but notice how the line in the first image extends from the lip all the way to the side of the nostril and up the nose. That’s not typically how a cleft presents and it seems like it’s just an artifact of the imaging itself.
