Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Congenital nasal anomalies are rare, presenting unique challenges in surgical management.
  • Asymmetrical nostrils, particularly with sinus-like lower pairs and obliterated upper pairs, require specialized reconstructive techniques.

Observation:

  • A rare case of four asymmetrical nostrils was observed, with distinct differences between the upper (normal) and lower (sinus-like) nasal structures.
  • The patient presented with a thick columella, elongated nasal septum, and asymmetrical nostril sill height.

Findings:

  • A staged surgical approach was employed, addressing the lower sinuses first, followed by perforation and stenting of the upper nostrils.
  • Revision surgery was performed four years later, prioritizing nasal growth considerations.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful management of a complex congenital nasal malformation through staged surgical reconstruction.
  • The long-term satisfactory outcome underscores the importance of tailored surgical strategies for rare nasal anomalies.
