Highlights
Orofacial defects are among the most common of congenital deformities, arising in 1 in 700 live births (1)
We report a case of midline facial defect, associated with ambiguous genitalia and umbilical hernia
Cleft lip with or without associated cleft palate (CLP) is one of the most common congenital anomalies accounting for 9.92 per 10,000 live births worldwide.(2) median cleft lip, is very rare and accounts for only about 0.5% of all cases of cleft lip (2)
Summary
Orofacial defects are among the most common of congenital deformities, arising in 1 in 700 live births (1). Whilst early diagnosis and well-timed surgical interventions are mandatory for a normal life, management is often imperfect, due to the fact that syndromic associations are difficult to define. Among the associations reported in the literature, conditions such as holoprocencephaly, oro-facial-digital syndrome, Median Facial Plane defect and Kallmanns syndrome require consideration.
