“…Moreover, Claudia et al [ 18 ] reported on a sister and brother who suffered from arhinia at the same time. Three mothers had medication during pregnancy: 2 of them [ 12 , 15 ] did not know about their medication and the other one [ 14 ] took a medicine called “escitalopram oxalate”. However, this baby was not born because pregnancy was terminated at the 29 th week [ 13 ].…”

Patient: Male, 4 monthsFinal Diagnosis: Congenital arhyniaSymptoms: Absence of the noseMedication: —Clinical Procedure: —Specialty: Pediatrics and Noenatology • GeneticsObjective:Congenital defectsBackground: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.Case Report:A full-term boy was born via an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. The mother was 40 years old and had a normal pregnancy. The mother had 4 previous uncomplicated pregnancies. There was no history of drug use during pregnancy.Conclusions:Congenital arhinia is a rare defect of embryogenesis, often associated with other anomalies that significantly influence the immediate and long-term outcomes of the neonate. It is a potentially life-threatening condition and requires the presence of a highly skilled neonatal resuscitation team at the time of delivery. Parental counseling is vital and a multidisciplinary team approach is required to optimize neonatal outcome.

A male Mongolian child with a complete congenital absence of both nose and nasal passage had a poor survival prognosis due to respiratory distress. To enable his survival, a new nose capable of conferring respiratory function was constructed. Following reconstructive surgery, an absence of mucoepithelium in the nasal passage can lead to rhinostenosis. To avoid this complication, a custom‐made nasal silicone stent was created using three‐dimensional (3D) printing technology in conjunction with the patient's computed tomography data. The stent was implanted for 2 months to maintain the shape and size of the nasal passage. At 2 months after stent implantation, the mucoepithelium tissue in the passage had successfully regenerated with no immune reaction. Three years after stent removal, respiratory function, nasal passage structure, and external nose shape were maintained without additional medical care. These results indicate the successful nasal reconstruction in an arhinia patient using a customized, 3D‐printed nasal stent. Laryngoscope, 129:582–585, 2019
