What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Child With A Mild Cleft?
My 2 yr old son has unilateral closed-lip schizencephaly. He has a small cleft and has above average language skills. His equilibrium seems a bit off/he seems a bit clumsy. We want to know what the average life expectancy is for a child with a mild cleft is.

having schizencephaly is a very rare genetic disorder.. but having schizencephaly on its own doesnt affect the life expectancy and your chold can have a normal life span.. other associated medical problems may shorten the life expectancy..
