Abstract
The cleft lip and palate is a common craniofacial congenital malformation that can affect the human face caused by the lack of fusion of the palate during the intrauterine period, may be isolated or associated with other syndromes and anomalies, has an isolated clinical presentation, and has a multifactorial etiology. This article reports a clinical case of a pediatric patient with bilateral cleft palate associated with ocular abnormalities of microphthalmia and nystagmus. Laboratory and imaging examinations were used as well as the appropriate conduits for subsequent surgical interventions, respecting the general preoperative principles, to avoid possible complications and promote aesthetic, psychological, and functional reintegration. It was concluded that an early diagnosis with adequate multidisciplinary assistance to the patient and the family enables correction of the malformations, directly affecting the psychosocial dimension, giving quality of life and an excellent prognosis.
