Abstract

Many investigators have attempted to classify craniofacial clefts, including Morian (1887), Sanvenero-Rosselli (1953), Boo-Chai (1970), Karfik (1966), Pfeifer (1974), Mazzola (1976), and van der Meulen (1985). Tessier (1976) introduced a new classification in an effort to eliminate confusing terminology and to provide a better understanding of these rare malformations.
