Proboscis lateralis is a rare congenital nasal deformity. Computerized tomography reveals a trunk-like process replacing the nasal cavity on the affected side, often with associated sinus and duct developmental failure.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial anomalies
  • Medical imaging
  • Congenital disorders

Background:

  • Proboscis lateralis is a rare craniofacial congenital anomaly.
  • It presents as a significant nasal deformity.
  • This condition is more prevalent in male offspring from consanguineous unions.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of proboscis lateralis using computerized tomography.
  • The anomaly involves a trunk-like structure replacing the nasal cavity on one side.
  • This structure is attached to the medial aspect of the orbital roof.

Findings:

  • The affected nasal cavity is replaced by a distinct trunk-like process.
  • The contralateral nasal cavity remains normal.
  • Associated developmental failures of paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal duct are common.

Implications:

  • Computerized tomography provides detailed visualization of proboscis lateralis.
  • Understanding the anatomical variations is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into the etiology and associated anomalies is warranted.
