Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Craniofacial Surgery
Congenital Malformations

Background:

Heminasal agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly impacting facial development.
Reconstruction is complex due to missing anatomical structures like lining, cartilage, and skin.
Associated anomalies often include ocular, lacrimal, and midfacial deformities.

Observation:

A 5-year-old girl presented with heminasal agenesis.
She also had hypertelorism, eyelid coloboma, and maxillary hypoplasia.
A multidisciplinary approach was employed for reconstruction.

Findings:

Facial bipartition corrected hypertelorism, with a cantilever bone graft used.
A forehead flap, modeled from a twin sister, was utilized for reconstruction.
Conchal and rib cartilage provided alar and dorsal support.

Implications:

This case highlights a successful reconstructive strategy for complex heminasal agenesis.
It underscores the importance of tailored surgical planning for craniofacial anomalies.
The study contributes to understanding reconstructive options for rare congenital defects.
