Summary
This report details a rare congenital nasal septal deformity. It includes a historical review of similar congenital nasal defects, offering valuable insights for medical professionals.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Medical Genetics
Background:
- Congenital nasal septal deformities are rare conditions affecting newborns.
- These defects can lead to significant respiratory and aesthetic challenges.
- Existing literature on congenital nasal anomalies is fragmented.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of congenital nasal septal deformity.
- To provide a comprehensive chronological summary of the literature on congenital nasal defects.
- To enhance understanding and management strategies for these conditions.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a patient with a unique congenital nasal septal deformity.
- Systematic literature review of congenital nasal defects.
- Chronological analysis of reported cases and their characteristics.
Main Results:
- Detailed description of the unique anatomical presentation of the congenital nasal septal deformity.
- Identification of trends and evolution in the understanding and classification of congenital nasal defects over time.
- Summary of diagnostic and management approaches documented in the literature.
Conclusions:
- The reported case highlights the diversity of congenital nasal septal deformities.
- A comprehensive literature review is crucial for understanding the spectrum of congenital nasal defects.
- Further research is needed to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for affected infants.

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
01:17Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary or...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:27Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...
01:22Sutures of the Skull
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:30Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
