## Abstract

Deviations from normal craniofacial development can result in a range of abnormalities, including cleft lip and/or palate, either as standalone conditions or as components of syndromes with varying clinical characteristics. The ability to distinguish between isolated incidents and syndromes with clefts as one component is integral to achieving accurate diagnosis and therapy.

The following case presentation highlights the importance of comprehensive screening and differential diagnosis in identifying syndromic connections in patients with cleft lip and palate. In this specific case, the patient presented with polydactyly, camptodactyly, and pelvic area abnormalities, indicating a possible syndromic connection with cleft lip and/or palate.
