The oblique facial cleft is an extremely rare and disfiguring congenital anomaly of the face. Tessier (1990) proposed an anatomic classification of the facial, craniofacial, and laterofacial clefts that was a great advance in the study of these clefts. The clefts were found to occur with an incidence of 1.43 to 4.85 in 100,000 births (Kawamoto, 1976). The exact incidence of these unusual facial clefts is unknown, and estimates vary widely because of the rarity of their occurrence and the lack of standard methods of data collection. To adequately examine the occurrence of oblique clefts, the medical community must be aware of the problem, and new cases should be presented. On the basis of clinical, radiologic, and surgical examinations, soft tissue and skeletal disruptions of three patients with the most rare craniofacial clefts (Tessier 3, 4, 5, and 9) are presented.
斜面部裂是一种极其罕见且毁容性的先天性面部畸形。泰西埃（1990年）提出了一种面部、颅面部和侧面部裂的解剖学分类方法，这在这些裂的研究方面是一个巨大的进步。据发现，这些裂在100,000例出生中发生率为1.43至4.85（川本，1976年）。这些不寻常的面部裂的确切发生率尚不清楚，由于其发生罕见且缺乏标准的数据收集方法，估计值差异很大。为了充分研究斜裂的发生情况，医学界必须意识到这个问题，并应报告新病例。基于临床、放射学和外科检查，本文介绍了3例患有最罕见颅面部裂（泰西埃3、4、5和9型）患者的软组织和骨骼破坏情况。
