A rare case of nasal anomaly

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Proboscis lateralis is a rare craniofacial anomaly. It describes a rudimentary nasal structure or appendage that consists of a soft, tubular nose-like structure that originates from the medial portion of the orbital roof. It may be associated with a number of facial and cerebral anomalies. The characteristics of the lesion and associated anomalies, along with the relationship of the lesion to the adjacent structures, must be known before the patient undergoes surgical correction. The patient should undergo multi-modality neuroimaging besides clinical evaluation to determine the exact details of the lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are used as primary modalities before corrective surgery.
