Supernumerary nostril: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with a rare congenital anomaly

Abstract: Multiple or supernumerary nostril is a rare congenital anomaly with unknown etiology. The first case was reported by Lindsay as bilateral supernumerary nostrils. Supernumerary nostril cases are mostly unilateral and isolated. They are also reported with other congenital malformations like facial clefts and congenital anomalies like congenital auricular hypoplasia, congenital cataracts, eusophageal atresia and patent ductus arteriosus. Here, we report a case of supernumerary nostril with congenital adrenal hype… Show more

“…In the present case, the middle nostril was a blind-ended structure. Openings into the nasal cavity are frequently found within abnormal nostrils in human cases of supernumerary nostrils, and a minority of the cases exhibit blind-ended structures [ 9 ]. Blind-ended lesions are less likely to result in respiratory symptoms but may become subject to infection, because the muzzle is widely exposed to a range of microorganisms in the environment.…”

“…Two main types of congenital nasal malformations have been reported in humans: proboscis lateralis (a rare acquired facial abnormality with a trunk-like projection near the nose), and supernumerary nostrils (additional nostril with or without accessory cartilage). [1][2][3] The incidence of these growths is estimated to between 1:1,000,000 and 1:100,000 live births. 1 There is a slight male predilection.…”
