Midline clefts of the lower lip and mandible are extremely uncommon. Couronne reported the first case in 1819, and fewer than 80 cases have been discovered in the literature to date. This case report describes a female infant who was born having a full midline cleft of the mandible and lower lip, as well as neck flexion contracture that extended from the lower lip to the manubrium sterni. A fenestrated type of acrylic splint was applied over the mandibular arch and fixed by circum-mandibular wiring. Fixation was done using a 0.5 interosseous wire passing through the prepared hole and tightened over a previously harvested rib bone graft.

Background: Perioral rejuvenation is challenging due to the lack of spatial anatomical understanding of the labiomandibular fold (LMF). The LMF's formation mechanism remains underexplored due to intricate relationships between musculature and subcutaneous structures. This study aimed to clarify the three-dimensional structures of the LMF using micro-computed tomography and histology.

The decision to undertake rhinoplasty maneuvers during cleft lip repair remains controversial. Little data compare long-term outcomes with and without primary rhinoplasty (PR). This study compared nasolabial outcomes in cohorts with unilateral cleft lip (UCL) treated with and without PR at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia using standardized aesthetic and anthropometric assessments.
