ABSTRACT

The microform cleft lip is an expression of incomplete superior cleft lip is characterized by a groove or depression cutaneous and muscular along the margins of the philtrum, asymmetry or discontinuity mucocutaneous margin at the peak of Cupid’s bow, discontinuity in the upper portion of the orbicularis oris muscle and minor deformity of the nasal ala. It is a condition for its apparent low gravity and apparent easy to repair as well as for its unusual clinical presentation, literature reports are scarce. We present a literature review and communicate about a case as a contribution to literature.
