RESUMEN
El frenillo labial superior doble no sindrómico es una anomalía del desarrollo que no hemos encontrado reportada en la revisión bibliográfica realizada. Se presenta una niña de 11 años de edad que fue remitida al servicio de Cirugía Maxilofacial del Hospital Eduardo Agramonte Piña , de Camagüey, por presentar un frenillo labial superior doble de baja inserción. Se describen los síntomas clínicos asociados a esta anomalía y el tratamiento quirúrgico utilizado para su solución una frenectomía y plastia sobre la banda muscular frénica anormal que provocaba exceso de tejido en la mucosa labial. Consideramos muy interesante la descripción de este caso, por no haber encontrado reporte similar en la literatura revisada

This is the case of an eleven-years old girl who was referred to the maxillofacial surgery service of Eduardo Agramonte Pina hospital in Camaguey, with a diagnosis of double frenulum of the superior lip of low insertion. The clinical symptoms linked to this anomaly and the surgical treatment applied to this case were described in this paper frenectomy and frenoplasty upon the abnormal muscular band of the frenulum that brought excessive amount of tissue in the lip mucosa.
