Abstract:
Complete nasal aplasia is an extremely rare clinical entity and most infants are stillborn when this is associated with holoprosencephaly. A viable 3-year-old infant born with frontonasal arrest without holoprosencephaly is presented. The child's main complaint was lack of a nasal airway, which made eating extremely difficult. A method for craniofacial reconstruction of the nasopharynx is presented.
