Supernumerary nostril. A rare congenital nasal deformity: case report and literature review.

Supernumerary nostril is one of the rarest congenital nasal deformities, and only a limited number of articles have been published so far on this topic. We present a typical case of a supernumerary nostril located above the left nostril in a male infant. We describe the appearance, physical examination, surgical procedure and histopathological examination of this case. Copyright 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel.
