Abstract

Median cleft or midline cleft is a congenital vertical cleft through the center of the upper lip. Median facial anomalies are broadly divided into those with a deficiency of tissue and those with normal or excessive amount of tissue. The main objective of concern during surgery is both functional and esthetics.
