Abstract
We report the case of a no. 4 Tessier cleft in association with an unknown cleft of the mandible extending to the external auditory meatus. This has not been previously published in the literature and its underlying pathology remains undetermined. The nature of the cleft, possible classifications, and potential embryologic origins will be discussed. Amniotic band syndrome is the most likely cause of the cleft.
