Description: Embryology processes of abnormal palatal development. Normally, the palatal shelves assume a vertical orientation and are directed downward. Free communication exists between the oral cavity and the nose at 7 weeks. Thus, the tongue is in direct contact with the inferior border of the nasal septum. The palatal shelves move horizontally as the process of fusion commences. Failure of fusion of the palatal shelves (medial extensions of the maxillary prominence), from any cause, may lead to cleft palate.
