Successful management of a case of Tessier's cleft number 0 and 14 with associated encephalocoele

Facial cleft is the second most common congenital malformation of the entire body.[1] Various classifications have been described with Tessier's being most popular.[2] Tessier's number 0 and 14 constitute the midline cleft.[2] Its association with encephalocoele and hypertelorism is very common. It is important for the anaesthesiologists to understand the complexity of surgery and that the main goal of early postnatal reconstruction is establishing proper airway.
