Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis: A case with accompanying short lingual frenulum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is a rare cause of nasal obstruction. We presented a case of CNPAS with accompanying short lingual frenulum. Surgical dilatation without osteotomy was used, and the infant had normal growth and development. In these cases, the less invasive surgical methods can be effective.

Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) coexists in 34%-65% of patients initially diagnosed with congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis. SMMCI, a genetic syndrome, warrants consideration for further screening because of its high prevalence of other diagnostic possibilities-specifically central defects, like nasal obstruction and hypothalamo-pituitary axis abnormalities. We report...

INTRODUCTION Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis and solitary median maxillary central incisor are uncommon anomalies and are associated with further malformations. Solitary median maxillary central incisor itself has initially no impact on a child's health, but congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a potentially life-threatening condition.

Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is a very rare condition of the newborn, in which the nasal pyriform aperture is narrowed by bony overgrowth of the nasal process of the maxilla (Figure 1). As the narrowest point of the nasal airway, a small change in its diameter may significantly increase nasal airway resistance. As infants are obligate nose breathers for the first three mo...

BACKGROUND Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare and potentially lethal form of airway obstruction in newborns. Immediate recognition and appropriate therapy are mandatory for this potentially life-threating condition. This anomaly may present as an isolated malformation or may be associated with other cranial-facial anomalies. Clinically, CNPS shows unspecific symptoms of nasal...
