J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2017 Jan-Mar;22(1):46-47. doi: 10.4103/0971-9261.194622.

Abstract

A case of midline cleft of the lower lip, mandible, and the neck with complete duplication of the tongue repaired at neonatal period is reported here. Median cleft of the lower lip, mandible, and bifid tongue with ankyloglossia is reported in the literature, but cleft of the neck with complete duplication of the tongue as a part of the Tessier 30 cleft is very rare. We could not find such report in the available English literature.

Keywords: Lower midline facial cleft; Tessier 30 cleft; median mandibular cleft.
