 Lisa,
I am not a pediatrician. However, I think your daughter should be checked by one. It is important to exclude the presence of other abnormalities. Some may not be as apparent as an abnormal gluteal cleft. Surgery if necessary is usually deferred to later in life when the child has completed physical development.
My best to you and your daughter.

Sorry Lisa, I was mislead by the age written in your profile (eighteen) to think she was younger than that. It really depends on the extent of the problem. But, generally speaking.. yes! I think there probably are several surgical solutions to this problem. You are best to discuss this with a plastic surgeon. She has to have the will and desire to solve this.

According to your description the only terms that can be associated with this is "abnormal gluteal cleft". Other terms that maybe associated with your daughters condition will depend on what the underlying cause of this is or if it is part of a syndrome. This has to be determined on examination by a specialist.
