Abstract
- Oblique facial cleft is extremely rare. The frequency was reported 1/1300 cases of facial cleft. The cleft appears to be bilateral in approximately 20% and more often on the right when unilateral. Oblique facial cleft is nearly always associated with cleft lip and palate. Thus, the case that is unilateral on the left and not associated with cleft lip or palate is very rare. We experienced a case of 2 years 6 months old Philippine girl who had oblique facial cleft that is not associated with cleft lip or palate. The probable cause and treatment is discussed with a review of literatures.
