Abstract
Craniofacial microsomia is a group of anomalies that occur due to developmental defects in the first and second branchial arches during the embryological period. The disease has various craniofacial and extracraniofacial presentation patterns. Lateral cleft palate is distinct from the most common palate clefts because it is located lateral to the uvula. The presence of a lateral cleft palate has been very rarely reported in the literature, and the aetiopathogenesis of the disease is still not well understood. We aimed to report a case of the coexistence of lateral cleft palate and craniofacial microsomia and discuss the aetiopathogenesis of these diseases.
