Abstract

We describe a paramedian cleft of the lower lip that cannot be explained by embryological development in a child with only one predisposing factor, which was fetal reduction for a multiple pregnancy. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of a cleft that has been induced by the reduction of a multifetal pregnancy.
