Cleft lip is one of the most common congenital anomalies that present to plastic surgeons. Care involves a multidisciplinary approach to address both aesthetic and functional needs. This review covers embryology, epidemiology, classification, and anatomy. It also provides a more in-depth description of treatment for unilateral, bilateral, and minor form clefts. Given the spectrum of presentation and the multiple tissue types involved, the general principles of reconstructive surgery are used as the framework for this review. This review contains 16 figures, 3 tables, and 119 references. Keywords: cheiloplasty, cleft lip, Fisher repair, microform cleft lip, Millard repair, orbicularis muscle, primary rhinoplasty, septoplasty, Tennison-Randall repair

Background: Amniotic band sequence (ABS) is a set of congenital malformations attributed to amniotic bands that entangle fetal parts during intrauterine life. thiopatogenesis of this sequence is still unknown. Because of such a wide spectrum of possible anomalies and many combinations of their simultaneous appearance, there are no two identical cases of ABS. This diagnosis is often missed based on the secondary major defects.Patients and Methods : There are cases of cleft patients treated in Plastic Surgery Division Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital that has other congenital anomalies. The data is taken from the medical record and surgical photos (in our division from 2010-2011). Results : The patients presented had either facial cleft or cleft lip and palate. These patients had other congenital anomalies such as meningoencephalocele and constriction ring syndrome or other defects on the extremities.Summary : This diagnosis may not be often established because we often only see the secondary major defects such as meningoencephalocele or facial cleft. With this paper we hope that we could make this diagnosis known so we can make a multidisciplinary approach to this sequence.

Orofacial clefts (OFC) are one of the most common congenital problems seen with a very high incidence. It imparts a negative effect on the overall health of the child by hindering in his feeding practices, normal facial growth, development of dentition and hence speech. Infants born with orofacial clefts have oronasal communication which creates a problem with the creation of negative pressure inside the oral cavity required for suckling.The treatment for such patients is with the multidisciplinary approach but the preliminary  concern for the neonate is to help with the feeding for which a feeding appliance is given. This case report presents a case of a 3-day old infant to whom a feeding appliance was given to aid in suckling.

Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is a rare genetic disorder that can be caused by mutation of multiple genes, including PTCH1, PTCH2, and SUFU, in an autosomal dominant manner. The symptoms include some craniofacial features such as keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs), macrocephaly, and cleft lip and/or palate. Although comprehensive orthodontic treatment is frequently required for some of these craniofacial deformities, there are few reports that show the outcomes of comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Here, we report a case of BCNS with multiple KCOTs, macrocephaly, skeletal class III malocclusion, asymmetric dental arch, and mandibular crowding, which was successfully treated with comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
