median cleft is the midline cleft of the lip. it develops due to incomplete or failed fusion of the median nasal prominence. it can present with minimal deformities such as involvement of the vermilion border, or complex clefting of the midline structures and brain. median clefts are broadly classified as true and false clefts. this case report describes a rare case of median cleft of the upper...

Median cleft lip is usually divided into true and false when being discussed. Owing to recent developments of diagnostic imaging methods that have improved the accuracy, the presence of an intermediate type of median cleft lip, which cannot simply be divided into true and false, has been suggested. However, the simple method of classification is still clinically valuable. We have previously rep...

BACKGROUND Median cleft lip is a rare anomaly consisting of a midline vertical cleft through the upper lip. It can also involve the premaxillary bone, the nasal septum, and the central nervous system. In our current report, we present the clinical features of 6 patients with a median cleft lip and their surgical management according to the accompanying anomalies. METHODS From December 2010 to...

Median cleft of lower lip and mandible is a rare congenital anomaly described as cleft number 30 of Tessier's classification. In minor forms only lower lip cleft is seen. We report the case of a patient with median cleft of lower lip, severe ankyloglossia, cleft of mandibular symphysis, and residual cleft involving on right soft palate and associated with other facial clefts. These deformities ...

conclusions we explain embryologic origin, differential diagnosis, other associated anomalies and its treatment by reviewing literature. introduction midline cleft of mandible, classified as tessier 30 clefts is extremely rare, with less than 100 reported cases in the latest studies. variations in severity and associated malformations have been reported before. case presentation in this report,...

BACKGROUND Repair of the rare median cleft lip occurring with agenesis of the columella is a challenge as there is a major deficiency of skin and underlying structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Over a 23- year period, five children underwent construction of a columella. A new surgical technique was designed for this: an internal dorsal nasal flap was used to create a cutaneous-cartilaginous flap ...

Tessier cleft no. 30 is a rare congenital anomaly. It may range in severity from median cleft of the upper and lower lip to cleft of the manubrium sterni involving the mandible, floor of the mouth, tongue, hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage and strap muscles. Ankyloglossia and median web in the neck extending from chin resulting in neck contracture are frequently found. This is a case report of medi...

OBJECTIVE   To evaluate nasal symmetry using three-dimensional photogrammetry following primary tip rhinoplasty with or without an internal splint in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip/palate. DESIGN   We captured three-dimensional images of patients with unilateral complete cleft lip/palate who underwent nasolabial repair by rotation-advancement of the lip and primary tip rhinoplast...
