RESUMO
In 1976, Paul Tessier provided a numerical classification system for rare facial clefts, numbered from 0 to 14. The Tessier 3 cleft is a rare facial cleft extending from the philtrum of the upper lip through the wing of the nostril, and reaches the medial canthus of the eye. The aim of this document was to describe a pre-Hispanic anthropomorphic figurine dating from the classic period (200 A.D.-900 A.D.), which has a Tessier 3 cleft. We also discuss the documented pre-Hispanic beliefs about facial clefts.

A historical review is made of the various concepts involved in the treatment of congenital palate. For centuries, it was belived that cleft palates were the result of syphilis or some infectious process: at that time, no surgery was attempted and obturators were used. In the first part of the 19th century, the first attempts were made to close surgically the soft palate and some time later also the hard palate. The speech anormalies which were not improved by the first types of operation and the study of speech mechanism led the surgeons to devise more sophisticated procedures to lengthen the soft palate or to the secure the soft palate to the pharyngeal wall in order to overcome the palatopharyngeal insufficiency

El autor hace un resumen sobre el desarrollo de las ténicas quirúrgicas para la correción del labio y el paladar hendidos. Aunque ambas entidades eran conocidas desde la antigüedad, su historia se trata por separado puesto que las palatorrafias solo fueron descritas en el siglo XIX, debido a la falsa idea de que siempre se asociaban a sífilis

In several countries in South America such as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, many ceramics have been found which illustrate aspects of human anatomy, physiology and pathology that had been noticed and masterfully reproduced by the potter. A statuette in my private collection of pre-Colombian ceramics is approximately 2000 years old and belongs to the era of the Bahia culture. It depicts an important personage, possibly a political, social or religious leader, with a cleft lip and palate.
