A rare bilateral Tessier no. 6 and 7 clefts

Tessier 3 cleft with bilateral anophthalmia: Case report and surgical treatment

“…The surgical management of rare craniofacial clefts is a challenge, given the small number of techniques published, the lack of standardized guidelines, and the variability in clinical presentation (Tessier, 1969a,b;Tessier et al, 1977;Van der Meulen, 1985;Van der Meulen and Vaandrager, 1989;Shewmake and Kawamoto, 1992;Mishira and Purwar, 2009;Laure et al, 2010;da Silva Freitas et al, 2010;Bütow and Botha, 2010;Hou et al, 2011).

Tessier Number 30 Median Mandibular Cleft With Congenital Heart Anomalies in Qena, Egypt

“…Typical craniofacial clefts (cleft lip and palate) are common, but atypical clefts are rare, the incidence being estimated at 1.4 to 4.9 per 100 000 live births (Resnick and Kawamoto, 1990; Sesenna et al, 2012). Median cleft of the lower lip and mandible is a rare congenital anomaly (Hou et al, 2011). Tessier (1979) described an anatomical classification system, in which the number is assigned to each craniofacial cleft on the basis of its position relative to the sagittal midline and the orbit.…”
