Abstract
In this letter, the study entitled “Cleft Lip and/or Palate in Fetal Autopsies: Spectrum of Associated Anomalies” by Çobankent Aytekin et al. is evaluated from a methodological and clinical perspective. The study is noteworthy for its clear presentation of complex and clinically challenging fetal cases, with illustrative morphological findings that enhance its interpretability. While these aspects represent important strengths, careful interpretation of the findings is warranted given the inherent selection bias of fetal autopsy series, which are enriched for severe and syndromic cases. In addition, the lack of comprehensive genetic and molecular analyses limits the diagnostic precision of the reported syndromic classifications. The absence of systematic correlation between prenatal imaging and postmortem findings may also reduce the translational clinical value of the study. Future research integrating genomic data, prenatal - postmortem correlation, and larger multicenter cohorts may provide more robust and clinically applicable insights.
Özet
Bu yazıda, Çobankent Aytekin ve ark. tarafından sunulan “Fetal Otopsilerde Yarık Damak-Yarık Dudak ve Eşlik Eden Anomaliler” başlıklı çalışma metodolojik ve klinik açıdan değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada sunulan fetal olguların özellikli ve klinik açıdan zorlayıcı yapısına rağmen, bulguların özellikle görsel materyallerle desteklenerek açık ve anlaşılır biçimde sunulmuş olması dikkat çekicidir. Bununla birlikte, bulguların fetal otopsi serilerine özgü seçim yanlılığı nedeniyle dikkatli yorumlanması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
