Supernumerary nostril - an unusual case report

ABSTRACT

Developmental anomalies of the nose encompass a diverse group of conditions. Embryologic development anomalies of the nose include nasal dermoids, gliomas, encephaloceles, nasal clefts, proboscis lateralis, arhinia, polyrrhinia, nasopharyngeal teratoma, and epignathus. Supernumerary nostril is a very rare congenital anomaly. We report such a case with review of literature. Embryology of nasal development and embryogenesis of duplication anomalies are discussed in this review
