Arrhinia, Multidisciplinary approach, Facial anomaliesAbstract
Congenital nasal absence (arhinia) is an extremely rare malformation. Arhinia causes severe airway obstruction and poor feeding in the affected neonate. There is an association with other facial anomalies, especially defects of the eyes, ears, palate, and midline defects. In this article, we present a 16-month-old child born with absent nose, microphthalmia and cleft palate. Such patients require multidisciplinary team approach for appropriate care and management.
