Objective: To describe the diagnostic process and treatment applied in monozygotic twin patients with cleft lip and palate.
Clinical Case: Monozygotic twin female patients, born by dystocic delivery (cesarean section) with congenital facial malformations: one with incomplete right unilateral cleft lip associated with a complete unilateral right cleft palate and the other girl with: Unilateral incomplete left cleft lip. They were treated according to the protocol established in the Cuban School of Cleft Lip and Palate, being in multidisciplinary follow-up to date.
Conclusions: Acceptable aesthetic and functional results were achieved with the corrective surgical techniques performed.
