Annually 50-60 children are born with the illness of rabbit lip
and wolf snout in the republic, department head of Yerevan state
medical university, Gagik Kocharyan told Panorama.am. In his words,
40-50 children with such defects are operated annually in the
republic. The illness is transmitted mainly genetically. Besides,
genetic transmission (70 percent), the illness may be caused by some
kind of disease in the first 2-3 months of pregnancy. "During this time
of pregnancy, the facial section of the child is formed, for example,
a child may be born with problems due to serious flue of a woman,"
he said.
Children born with a rabbit lip and wolf snout may undergo operation
starting from 3-4 month old.
Specialists say when a child is 6 and more kgs, they may be
operated. In case for any reason the operation is done after the child
is 7 years old, the operation will be of plastic nature. In case of
such diseases, children may have problems of eating and drinking as
well as other movements.
