A rare craniofacial cleft: numbers 7, 2, and 3 clefts accompanied by a single median lip pit.
A unique case of a unilateral partial Tessier no. 7 cleft accompanied by no. 2 and 3 clefts along with a single median lip pit is presented. The history, genetics, epidemiology, classifications, embryology, pathogenesis, and correction techniques are briefly reviewed. After an extensive review of the literature, we conclude that this particular constellation of anomalies has not previously been described.
