Oblique facial clefts are extremely rare congenital deformities. Partial duplication of maxilla is a rare isolated anomaly. The concurrent existence of maxillary duplication and Tessier clefts has been described previously, specially the Tessier 7 clefts. In presented case, partial duplication of maxilla has occurred associated with Tessier 3 and incomplete Tessier 6 cleft along with cleft pala...

A wedge-shaped anterior hairline extension is a very rare skin manifestation usually associated with congenital anomalies including a Tessier number 10 cleft. Other associated conditions are the Tessier number 9 cleft, the Fraser syndrome, and the Manitoba oculotrichoanal syndrome (MOTA syndrome). The Tessier number 10 cleft features include a coloboma of the middle third of the upper eyelid, a...

Introduction: Tessier facial cleft is among the rarest facial clefts reported in literatures and there are many issues arguing about its multidisciplinary repairing techniques. Tessier number 4 and 5 are extremely rare facial anomalies. There are few literatures describing these clefts and their surgical modalities. Number 5 Tessier cleft begins medial to oral commissure in the upper lip and ex...

Tessier III clefts represent one of the most difficult and challenging malformations of the face to repair. Ectropion caused by a Tessier III cleft may be secondary to a vertical loss of both the anterior and posterior lamellae of the lower eyelids.A composite Z plasty to treat recurrence of cicatricial ectropion of the lower eyelids in Tessier III cleft is described. This is not only a technic...

Soil & Water Res., 8: 71–76. Four sequential extraction procedures (Sposito, Tessier, Silveira and Bureau Communautaire de Reference (BCR)) were used to evaluate the distribution of some metals (Fe, Cu, Cd and Zn) in a co...

A 10-year-old Chinese girl with two accessory maxillae and bilateral Tessier no. 7 clefts is presented. Radiographic examination showed two accessory maxillae, each containing 5 or 6 supernumerary permanent teeth. The two accessory maxillae extended from the inside of the zygomatic arch to the maxillary tuberosity symmetrically. Duplication of the maxilla is always associated with Amniotic Band...
