Abstract

Lateral facial cleft is a rare congenital craniofacial anomaly. Their incidence is about 1 in 60,000 births and early treatment with closure in layers is important. Surgical treatment must reconstruct an anatomic and functional situation which give a good esthetic result. This study reports two cases of male at 31 months and 9 months suffered from esthetic problems due to lateral displacement of the oral commisure on the right side. Surgical treatment; the mucosa is closed in with a Z-plasty to avoid intraoral band contracture, the orbicularis oris muscle is closed after interfiber reorientation, and the skin is closed with multiple Z-plasty. So we report two cases of unilateral lateral facial cleft and review of etiopathogenesis in children with lateral facial cleft.
