We present a case report of a 15-month-old baby with an isolated unilateral paramedian cleft palate. A cleft palate is usually seen in children born to their parents through consanguineous marriage. However, a paramedian cleft palate is a very rare finding and very few cases have been reported in the world and none have been published, hence our initiative to present this case report and a modified technique for closure of the same. Along with the conventional von Langenbeck technique, a modification using a rotational flap from the retromolar fossa was done to close the oral mucosal layer.
