“…The incidence of lateral CL in the database, on which this publication is based, is 0.69% in 3178 facial cleft deformities. This is similar to previously reported incidences (Boo-Chai, 1969;Hawkins et al, 1973;Bauer et al, 1982;Verheyden, 1988;Gleizal et al, 2007). The cases reported here appeared with lateral clefts on the left side (41%), right side (36%) and on both sides (23%).…”

“…Examples are the straight-line closure, without supero-inferior rotation or positioning of the scar (Kaplan, 1981;Ono and Tateshita, 2000;Bauer and Margulis, 2002;Gleizal et al, 2007;Kuriyama et al, 2008), or W-plasty (Bauer et al, 1982;Habal and Scheuerle, 1983;Eguchi et al, 2001). Some authors prefer a type of z-plasty for the closure, which may be positioned horizontally (Boo-Chai, 1969) or inferiorly (Verheyden, 1988;Yoshimura et al, 1992;Torkut and Cos xkunfirat, 1997).…”

SUMMARY. Background: The repair of the lateral or transverse facial cleft is a surgical challenge on the account of the abnormal positioning and appearance of the cleft. Materials and methods: Over a twenty-seven year period, 22 lateral facial cleft cases were evaluated at a cleft lip (CL) and palate clinic and seven children underwent reconstruction of the lateral CL. Results: Twenty-two of 3187 (0.69%) cases presented with a lateral CL. Five of these 22 cases (23%) had a bilateral, eight (36%) had a right-sided and nine (41%) had a left-sided cleft. The evaluation of these cases resulted in a new classification (namely an extension of the Tessier 7 cleft) classification for the cutaneous and muscle involvement: a superior (T7.1), middle (T7.2), inferior (T7.3) and agenetic (T7.4) lateral CL. The altered surgical construction: an internal mucosal straight-line closure, a curved cutaneousemucosal red-lip/vermilion-lined flap for the lip commissure, muscle reconstruction at the modiolus and a positional cutaneous z-plasty for the rare lateral cutaneous cleft. Conclusion: The paper introduced a new classification for the lateral CL, as well as an altered surgical reconstructive technique for the most natural functioning of the lateral part of the face.

“…In the description of the oro-ocular cleft in particular, Boo-Chai subdivided this into Types I and IC [ 11,12 ] . The Boo-Chai Types I and II clefts both bypass the nose and leave the pyriform aperture intact in contrast to the naso-ocular cleft.…”

“…These junctions can be identified by a muscle bulge and a change in the color of the overlying vermilion. The cleft is lined with vermilion of a slightly lighter shade than that of the normal lip [3,9]. Puckering is incomplete during speech, whistling, or blowing.…”
