It can be repaired surgically during infancy.The congenital deformity of a cleft in the upper lip, on one or both sides of the midline. It occurs when the three blocks of embryonic tissue that go to form the upper lip fail to fuse and it is often associated with a cleft palate.Cleft lip is a widely used term to describe a birth defect where there is a division in the upper lip caused by the incomplete fusion of its two sides during fetal development. This condition, known as a harelip, is frequently associated with a similar failure of the two halves of the palate to unite.A birth defect of the upper lip, often accompanied by a cleft palate. It arises from an error during early embryonic development when the nasal and maxillary structures do not properly fuse together.
