Abstract
|
|
|
|
The facial cleft and duplicated maxilla are lire congenital anomaly. After Rushton and Walker had reported a unilateral facial cleft with excess tooth and bone formation in 1937, few authors described similar cases. The etiology of this anomaly is not well understood, but considered embryologically as a neurocristopathy. A neurocristopathy is defined as a condition arising from aberrations in early migration, growth and differentiation of neural crest cells. This aberrations result in facial malformation such as facial clefts and loss or duplication of facial structures. We experienced a male newborn baby with bilateral facial cleft and duplicated maxilla. The cleft was surgically corrected when he was 5 months old. The function and appearance of lip are improved. Duplicated maxilla will be surgically removed. We report this case with review of literatures.
