Introduction: Cleft lip and palate is a congenital malformation resulting from the inadequate fusion of bony structures during embryonic development. The etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental factors. Methodology: This study constitutes a descriptive epidemiological analysis focusing on the investigation of cases of live births with cleft lip and palate in Brazil. Data collection will be conducted through the Live Birth Information System (SINASC) during the period from 2017 to 2021. Results: The gender distribution of live births with cleft lip and palate indicates a male predominance in the sample, representing approximately 58.49% (n=4,390) of the total. Meanwhile, the percentage of female individuals is approximately 41.01% (n=3,078). The category "Unknown" has a very small representation, accounting for only 0.51% (n=38) of the sample. Conclusion: It is observed that live births with cleft lip and palate should not be overlooked. There is a significant number of cases each year, necessitating further related studies to provide solutions in society that directly benefit those affected.
