Median Cleft Lip With Associated Midline Sinuses

Midline upper lip sinuses alone are rare entitities, with less than 25 cases reported previously. Midline upper lip sinuses with associated cleft lip are even more rare. A patient report of median cleft lip with associated upper lip sinuses in a 16-year-old boy is presented. Controversy exists as to whether these abnormalities are related. This report demonstrates the plausibility of a cause-and-effect relationship between midline clefts and sinuses.
