Couronn\u00e9 in 1819 was the first to describe the condition. The midline cleft of the lower lip was classified by Tessier as a type 30 craniofacial cleft. Recently, the total number of the reported cases had increased to about 66 in the world literature. In addition, 2 more patients are presented here. The first case involves only a small notch in the vermilion; the deformity was treated by Z-plasty. In the second case, a midline incomplete cleft of the lower lip, a sublingual abnormal frenulum, a complete cleft in the mandible, a bifid sternum, a presternal skin tag, and a ventricular septal defect in the heart were present. At operation, Z-plasty of the lingual frenulum released the normal-sized tongue. The lip cleft was corrected by a simple V excision followed by closure in 3 layers. The mandibular segments were \u201cvitalized\u201d with a bone rongeur and immobilized in the predetermined position with an interosseous stainless steel wire. Because the bone fusion was complete, the stainless steel wire was taken out after 3 months so that it would not prevent mandibular development. Our treatment methods and others are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940211100305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:40:52Z","timestamp":1412347252000},"page":"217-221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Median Cleft of the Lower Lip: Report of Two New Cases and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"111","author":[{"given":"Tamer","family":"Seyhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Erzurum, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00fdd\u00fdr","family":"K\u00fdl\u00fdn\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-196610000-00004"},{"key":"bibr2-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0301-0503(76)80013-6"},{"key":"bibr3-000348940211100305","first-page":"679","volume":"7","author":"Fujino H","year":"1970","journal-title":"Cleft Palate J"},{"key":"bibr4-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0300-9785(84)80030-7"},{"key":"bibr5-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/1545-1569_1998_035_0269_mcotll_2.3.co_2"},{"key":"bibr6-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/1545-1569_1995_032_0167_imcoll_2.3.co_2"},{"key":"bibr7-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1935.01180100093010"},{"key":"bibr8-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-195007000-00006"},{"key":"bibr9-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198011000-00016"},{"key":"bibr10-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1090860402"},{"key":"bibr11-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1935.01180170138010"},{"key":"bibr12-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(05)80479-2"},{"key":"bibr13-000348940211100305","first-page":"761","volume":"31","author":"Abrahamson PD","year":"1952","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"bibr14-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0278-2391(88)90196-6"},{"key":"bibr15-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3468(91)91040-6"},{"key":"bibr16-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0007-1226(49)80007-5"},{"key":"bibr17-000348940211100305","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197805000-00029"},{"key":"bibr18-000348940211100305","first-page":"39","volume":"83","author":"Rey A","year":"1982","journal-title":"Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac"},{"key":"bibr19-000348940211100305","volume-title":"Cleft lip and palate.
