Cleft of the palate and congenital anomaly of the tongue is a rare occurrence. A child with the tongue in three segments is being presented for the first time in the literature. This child also had partial cleft palate. The cleft palate was repaired at 7 months of age, and the tongue was reconstructed at 15 months. The tongue reconstruction was done utilizing the three segments of the tongue by an innovative method. This child has been followed up for 6 months with satisfactory results. Congenital abnormalities of the tongue associated with cleft palate may be considered as evidence of close interrelation of embryogenesis of the tongue and palate.
