Oblique facial clefts: case report

A Rintala, J Leisti, M Liesmaa

    Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oblique facial clefts, though rare at 3.1%, often accompany other anomalies. Their exact cause remains unclear, but amniotic bands may play a role in severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial anomalies
    • Medical genetics
    • Developmental biology

    Background:

    • Facial clefts are common congenital malformations.
    • Oblique facial clefts are a less common subtype requiring specific investigation.
    • Understanding the etiology and associations of oblique clefts is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A study of 3,600 facial clefts identified 11 oblique clefts (3.1%).
    • Medial oro-ocular and naso-ocular clefts were most frequent, with rare atypical and lateral variants observed.
    • Oblique clefts frequently co-occurred with other cleft types and distant anomalies.

    Findings:

    • No definitive genetic, chromosomal, or environmental factors were identified for oblique cleft etiology.
    • Amniotic bands were hypothesized as a potential cause for severe malformations in two cases.
    • The lacrimal apparatus was consistently involved, except in incomplete forms.
    • Clefts in the alveolar arch were typically located between the medial incisor and canine.

    Implications:

    • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology of oblique facial clefts.
    • Early identification and understanding of associated anomalies are vital for comprehensive patient care.
    • This study contributes to the understanding of rare craniofacial malformations and their complex presentations.
