| Summary: | Transverse facial cleft is a clinical type of craniofacial cleft malformation, which constitutes a rare congenital facial cleft deformity compared to cleft lip and palate. The pathogenesis of transverse facial cleft arises from incomplete fusion of maxillary process and mandibular process during embryo, resulting in a transverse facial cleft extending from the oral commissure to the buccal region. In addition to the oral and buccal malformations, developmental malformations of the first branchial arch may also co-occur, such as unilateral facial hypoplasia, preauricular fistula, appendage and other deformity. The precise pathogenesis remains unclear, potentially stemming from genetic, nutritional, or environmental factors. We present a clinical case of congenital atypical transverse facial cleft of the right face with buccal fistula and odontogenic keratocyst of mandible, thereby contributing to the clinical understanding of this condition. |
