“…[3] When there is a unilateral presentation the left side of the face is more commonly affected than the right side of the face. [8] However in our case, the right side of the face was affected. It is characterized clinically by widening of the oral commissure, which is known as macrostomia, and may be associated with variable degree of hypoplasia of the lateral facial skeleton and the external ear[8] as was seen in our case.…”

Unusual case of concomitant occurrence of Tessier′s number 7 cleft and dentigerous cyst

Dentigerous cysts are commonly encountered associated with impacted teeth; however the exact histogenesis of these cysts is not known even though numerous theories have been proposed. Majority of the maxillary cysts arise as a result of defect in the embryonal development, which can be either abnormal fusion of facial processes or as a result of abnormality in the development of dental follicle. Congenital Tessier's number 7 unilateral facial cleft is a rare anomaly, which arises as a result of defect in the fusion of facial processes. We report an unusual case of concomitant occurrence of Tesssier's number 7 cleft and maxillary dentigerous cyst in 11-year-old child.

“…However, these views are less informative for the diagnosis of lateral type clefts. Pilu et al explained that the lateral part of the fetal face is not equally visible on both sides on 2D US . This weakness can be overcome with 3D US through multiplanar reconstruction.…”

Prenatal 3D sonography of an isolated lateral facial cleft

Lateral facial cleft is a rare congenital anomaly, but all affected infants require surgery under general anesthesia. Conventional 2-dimensional coronal view of the face, which is typically used for identification of facial clefts, has limitations with regard to detection of this anomaly. We describe a case of prenatal diagnosis of isolated lateral facial cleft made with 3D sonography and highlight the importance of this tool in the diagnosis of this rare facial deformity.

“…It may arise as an isolated finding or in association with other disorders like bony abnormalities of the maxilla and zygoma. So far, only two cases of isolated lateral facial cleft have been reported antenatally: one was a bilateral lateral facial cleft,3 and the other was accompanied with bilateral skin tags and anterior displacement of the left external ear 4. Other cases that were part of a malformation syndrome, such as oculo‐auriculo‐vertebral spectrum5 or severe micrognathia,6 have been reported as well.…”

We report a case of lateral facial cleft (Tessier 7) diagnosed by sonography at a gestational age of 24 weeks. Two-dimensional sonography revealed a fetus appropriate for gestational age without obvious anomaly, but a three-dimensional sonogram with surface mode rendering showed asymmetrical macrostomia as a result of a left lateral facial cleft. Our case highlights the advantage of using three-dimensional sonography in the prenatal diagnosis of lateral facial clefts.
