<Abstract>Background: The epidemic proportion of cleft lip and/or palate constitutes a great concern to maxillofacial surgeons worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of unilateral cleft lip in children presented at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika-Zaria, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Informed consent was obtained from the parents or guardians of all the patients and a structured proforma was used for data collection. Children, 2-10 months of age, presented at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department (Paediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit) of ABUTH were assessed for the type of cleft. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: The most common type of cleft was unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) (45.0%) followed by unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (UCLA) (40.0%) and isolated unilateral cleft lip (15.0%); was more common in males (60.0%) than females (40.0%), and in children between the ages 2-6 months (70.0%) than 6-10 months (30.0%) of age. The type of cleft lip showed no statistically significant (P > 0.05) association with gender, age of patients, age, tribe, number of life pregnancies of mother and history of cleft lip in the family. Conclusion: Male children 2-6 months of age were the most affected by cleft lip and palate.</Abstract>
