“…The palate acts as an anatomical barrier that separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. [ 1 ] Together with other structures of the pharynx, it contributes to the function of the velopharyngeal sphincter by assisting in speech and feeding. Without the normal function of these structures, patients with a cleft palate may develop changes such as nasal air leaks and food reflux through the nose.…”

We present a case report of a 15-month-old baby with an isolated unilateral paramedian cleft palate. A cleft palate is usually seen in children born to their parents through consanguineous marriage. However, a paramedian cleft palate is a very rare finding and very few cases have been reported in the world and none have been published, hence our initiative to present this case report and a modified technique for closure of the same. Along with the conventional von Langenbeck technique, a modification using a rotational flap from the retromolar fossa was done to close the oral mucosal layer.
