Craniofacial clefts are challenging problems encountered by plastic surgeons. These anomalies embrace a diverse group of abnormalities ranging from simple soft tissue defects to complex craniofacial malformation. They are rare occurrences, and their wide spectrum of presentation makes classi-fication difficult. The treatments of craniofa-cial clefts require a thorough knowledge of the craniofacial anatomy, the underlying embryological pathology, and the specific characteristic of each entity. In addition, careful surgical planning with a multidisciplinary team is essential to achieve both functional and aesthetic goals. |
