About the Q37 Code Range
A cleft of the palate occurs with a cleft lip in these conditions present at birth.
The codes distinguish a cleft of the hard palate, soft palate, both, or an unspecified part of the palate. Each pair lists bilateral cleft lip (both sides) first and unilateral cleft lip (one side) second.
The hard-palate pair is Q37.0 and Q37.1. The soft-palate pair is Q37.2 and Q37.3. For both parts of the palate, the pair is Q37.4 and Q37.5. For an unspecified part, it is Q37.8 and Q37.9.
