Tessier 7 Cleft: Clinical Presentation and Surgical Correction in a Case Report.

Tessier 7 cleft, or transverse facial cleft, is a rare congenital anomaly involving lateral facial tissues, often resulting from embryonic disruptions in the first and second branchial arches. It presents varying severities from macrostomia to complete clefts affecting soft tissue and skeletal structures. Surgical management is challenging, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for functional and aesthetic reconstruction.
