The craniofacial complex begins its progress in the fourth week of development, and results from neural crest cells migrating to form and fuse the facial primordia. [9] [10] Failures or deviations in this process result in craniofacial clefts, either CL or CP. [6] The range of variation in phenotype aligns with ancestry.
A bifid nose (also known as cleft nose) is an uncommon congenital malformation which is characterized by the presence of a cleft between the two nostrils of the nose. [1] It is the result of a disturbance during embryological nose development. [2] It is part of the Tessier classification for craniofacial clefts. [3]
Cleft lip and palate occurs in about 1 to 2 per 1000 births in the developed world. [2] Cleft lip is about twice as common in males as females, while cleft palate without cleft lip is more common in females. [2] In 2017, it resulted in about 3,800 deaths globally, down from 14,600 deaths in 1990.
The other infant was born with duplication of the upper and lower jaw, two tongues arising from the same base, cleft palate, a slightly divided tip of the nose, and two widely spaced eyes, as well as absence of the corpus callosum, duplication of the pituitary gland and stalk, and abnormalities in the midbrain. Because they were born with a ...
Dr. Tessier started to improve surgical techniques to correct craniofacial deformations in the mid-1950s. He performed his first craniofacial operation in 1967. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he developed the following methods: Using autogeneous (patient's own) bone grafts instead of silicone or acrylic to modify skull and facial contours. [2]

In 1928, Rosenthal used an inferiorly based posterior pharyngeal flap in combination with a modified von Langenbeck palatoplasty in primary surgery for cleft palate repair. Taking a different approach, Padgett (1930) utilized a superiorly based flap for cleft palate patients whose primary surgical repair had been unsuccessful (Sloan, 2000).
