“…Individuals with median proboscis usually have alobar holoprosencephaly, while those with lateral proboscis are usually normal [10]. Some lateral nasal proboscides have occurred with microphthalmos and cystic degeneration of the optic nerve [11], eyelid, lip, and maxillary clefts [12]. They have also been described in conjunction with meningeal angiomatosis, arrhinencephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and a large hamartoma of the brain [13].…”

We report a case of a dizygotic twin with complex abnormalities of head, body, and limbs. The anomalies include the following: lateral and midline cleft upper lip, ectopic palatal pituitary, natal teeth, bilateral nasal proboscides with an absent nose, left microphthalmia with conjunctival-lined cyst, right ocular dysgenesis, bilateral retinal dysplasia, platybasia with skull asymmetry, hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal atresia, brain hemispheric asymmetry with a parietal-occipital cortical flap, agenesis of posterior corpus callosum, absence of the olfactory nerves and left anterior cerebral artery, leptomeningeal and intraventricular heterotopias, right radial longitudinal terminal meromelia with constriction rings of fingers, partial syndactyly of the third and fourth left fingers, dorsiflexed great toes and pes equinovarus bilaterally, and multiple skin tags with a sacral appendage. Additionally, this twin's placental disc and extraplacental membranes were devoid of amnion. We regard these anomalies as a possible expression of the human homologue of the disorganization phenotype or another gene mutation. Nevertheless, an abnormality of blastogenesis with early damage to organizing tissues of the frontonasal region and limbs, or a vascular disruption, cannot be excluded. Early amnion rupture sequence (possible extraamniotic pregnancy with amniotic bands, limb reduction defects with Streeter bands, and multiple skin tags tapering into amniotic bands) was also present in this case, and may have acted as a contributing factor.

“…The construction of nasolacrimal duct reportedly has not been successful as well. 8,9 It is recommended to do an early surgery for the reconstruction of the soft tissues when the general health status of the infant permits the operations. The facial outcome of these early surgeries brings an acceptable situation.…”

Heminasal Proboscis, A Rare Craniofacial Cleft

Craniofacial clefts are extremely rare congenital anomalies, the importance of which lies in their great range of variety of anatomic forms and their complex management. Proboscis is one of the rare cases of this kind in which half of the nose is separated from the face and it is only pedicled on the right or left medial canthal regions by a nose-like, rudimentary tubular structure. This article reports the case of a 3-month-old infant with left-sided proboscis. Left lower eyelid coloboma was also present. The proboscis was treated with local flaps at the age of 3 months, and at the age of 10 months the coloboma was managed.
