CORRECTION OF MEDIAN MICROFORM CLEFT OF THE UPPER LIP USING BILATERAL ADVANCEMENT VERMILLION MUCOSAL FLAP.
Abstract
A median microform 0 cleft lip is a rare
craniofacial anomaly representing less
then 1 percent of all clefts.These can be
true clefts or false clefts.We present this
case of true median microform cleft with
polydactyly of both upper and lower
limbs as part of orofacial-digital syndrome.
We have approached in the midline
through vermillion and repaired the
orbicularis oris muscle and the defect.
The contour of the lip was improved. Lip
height, vermillion fullness and mobility of
the lip were achieved.
