It is caused by a lack of ectomesenchyme formation or penetration of the maxillary and mandibular processes during the fourth and fifth weeks of development. A case of bilateral transverse facial cleft with an accessory maxilla and an osseous choristoma is presented. The diagnosis of accessory maxilla was based on clinical findings due to the inaccessibility of orthopantomography and computed tomography scan. Orbicularis oris muscle reconstruction, cheiloplasty and excision of accessory maxilla were done. Histopathological examination of the bony lesion showed an osseous choristoma. There were no postoperative complications or local recurrence of the lesion excised. This case report demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in maxillofacial congenital anomalies. Cheiloplasty restores function and gives the patient a natural appearance. The excision of accessory bone prevents further complications in the child\u2019s growth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T21:43:26Z","timestamp":1673387006000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Bilateral
