We present a case report of a 15-month-old baby with an isolated unilateral paramedian cleft palate. A cleft palate is usually seen in children born to their parents through consanguineous marriage. However, a paramedian cleft palate is a very rare finding and very few cases have been reported in the world and none have been published, hence our initiative to present this case report and a modified technique for closure of the same. Along with the conventional von Langenbeck technique, a modification using a rotational flap from the retromolar fossa was done to close the oral mucosal layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
