The term "harelip" is an outdated and considered offensive term for a cleft lip, a congenital condition where there is an opening or gap in the upper lip that can occur on one or both sides. This condition can vary in severity and may also be associated with a cleft palate. Modern terminology favors "cleft lip" and "cleft palate" for more accurate and respectful communication. Treatment typically involves surgical intervention to repair the lip and improve function and appearance.
