Abstract:
Craniofacial microsomia is a group of anomalies that occur due to developmental defects in the first and second branchial arches during the embryological period. The disease has various craniofacial and extracraniofacial presentation patterns. Lateral cleft palate is distinct from the most common palate clefts because it is located lateral to the uvula. The presence of a lateral cleft palate has been very rarely reported in the literature, and the aetiopathogenesis of the disease is still not well understood. We aimed to report a case of the coexistence of lateral cleft palate and craniofacial microsomia and discuss the aetiopathogenesis of these diseases.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
