Abstract
Oblique facial clefts are said to account for 0.25% of all clefts. Craniosy nostosis is not known to be associated with oblique facial clefting, althou gh craniofrontonasal dysplasia is well described. Craniosynostosis and obli que facial clefting presenting together in the same patient is a rare event . We present such a case, and detail the treatment plan to allow simultaneo us correction of both deformities.
