Summary:Tessier number 4 cleft is an extremely rare facial cleft. We report a case of Tessier number 4 facial cleft recently managed in our center. The approach to facial clefts is multi-disciplinary and may differ between centers. Multiple surgical interventions are required as well as a good psychosocial support. The child underwent a craniofacial reconstruction at 6 months of age, followed by a left macrostomia repair 9 months later and transcranial correction of the right orbital dystopia with eyelid reconstruction.
