Tessier Clefts and Hypertelorism

Prevalence of True Median Cleft of Upper Lip as Reflected from a Small Central Indian Population: Attempt to Report and Review the True Median Cleft of Upper Lip

“…Apart from this common deformity, there are various other patterns of facial clefts which have been noted in the past. These noted orofacial clefts may involve other structures of face with soft tissue or hard tissue or both [2,3]. With the advent of newer techniques of imaging, changing concepts and understanding of cleft, there have been changes in the classification of cleft too [2].…”

“…They were classified as primary/true clefts and secondary/pseudoclefts earlier in accordance with the timing of the improper fusion of the different processes during the facial growth in embryological phase [2]. The facial clefts were then classified as per Tessier's classification scheme which is the most accepted scheme in recent times [3]. This classification mainly relies on the embryological patterns of development and is classified into various numbers from 0 to 14 [3].…”

Craniofacial Cleft: A Case of Tessier 10 Cleft With a Novel Method to Repair Large Bilateral Colobomas

“…Surgical complexity is due to a coloboma in the middle third of the upper eyelid where the eyelid is divided into 2 parts, and in some cases total ablepharia (Fan et al, 2008). As a consequence, the palpebral fissure is usually elongated horizontally and the brow is deficient or absent (Winters, 2016). In most reported cases, the cleft is limited to soft tissue without evidence of bony involvement.…”

Diagnostic analysis of vertical orbital dystopia and canthal tilt for surgical correction

“…Orbital dystopia, a common feature found in patients with facial asymmetry, refers to a degree of unevenness of the orbit that causes malposition of the orbital cavity in at least one of the three-dimensional planes 7 . The diagnosis and management of horizontal orbital dystopia, more generally known as hypertelorism, has been discussed in many studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . However, there is a lack of published literature concerning vertical orbital dystopia, which is defined as a condition in which the whole orbits are not both positioned at the same horizontal level 15 .…”
