Abstract

Tessier 30 cleft is a more rare anomaly comparing the other clefts and has variable clinical presentations. According to the literature, there were only 66 cases with Tessier 30 cleft reported since 2007. Furthermore, because of the rarity and variable clinical presentation of this condition, there is no consensus on the mode of management and timing of surgical procedures. In this case, we demonstrated the earlier treatment method of a newborn case with Tessier 30 cleft.
