    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Facial clefts are congenital conditions affecting facial structure.
    • Bilateral oblique facial clefts are exceptionally rare, posing unique challenges in classification and management.
    • Understanding established classification systems like Boo-Chai and Tessier is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an extremely rare bilateral oblique facial cleft.
    • The deformity was classified as a bilateral oroocular Type I cleft (Boo-Chai) and a bilateral No. 4 cleft (Tessier).
    • The patient exhibited no other health issues apart from the facial cleft and a related abscess.

    Findings:

    • Surgical interventions were performed between 4 and 18 months of age.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Procedures included repair of the bilateral clefts, management of an abscess from a lacrimal canal remnant, and cleft palate repair.
  • The patient demonstrated a positive recovery post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of precise classification for rare congenital anomalies.
    • Early surgical intervention is key for successful functional and aesthetic outcomes in complex facial clefts.
    • Long-term follow-up may be necessary, potentially including bone grafting or craniofacial osteotomies for optimal results.
