%X Orofacial clefts are the most common facial congenital abnormalities in humans. Their management is complex due to a range of immediate and ongoing challenges. These include breathing, feeding, speech, hearing and dental issues. This article uses a case study approach to outline these challenges for a patient who was born with a cleft palate. The case is followed by a discussion of contemporary evidence-based care. The article focuses on family-centred care and multidisciplinary teamwork, and the author also details the central role of the children's nurse.
