Figure 1. Classic appearance of rhino-phyma with a bulbous, cosmetic nasal deformity causing distortion of the aesthetic subunits of the lower nose. Alar thickening can eventually lead to obstruction of the external nasal valves. Figure 2. Transition of the affected thicker sebaceous skin of the lower nose and the relatively unaffected upper nasal skin.

We report here an extremely rare and unusual case of accessory nose associated with unilateral complete congenital choanal atresia. Although other types of nasal congenital nasal anomalies are not rare, however, extreme rarity of nose duplication is worth reporting, as it is an extremely rare type of nasal congenital deformity.

On examination he had an obvious fracture of the nose with evidence of epistaxis and slight deviation of the nose to the right, together with surgical emphysema between the nose and the eyelids on the right. He took great delight in producing the deformity for the amusement of his comrades. Finger pressure applied to the swollen tissues caused deflation and an audible hiss of air escaping into ...

The crooked or twisted nose results from a complex deformity of the bony pyramid, the upper and lower cartilaginous vaults, and the septum and causes functional and aesthetic problems. The forces of scar contracture coupled with long-standing cartilage deformation may make the crooked nose resistant to conventional surgical intervention. The middle vault of the nose may exhibit deformities that...

Numerous materials have been suggested for correction of nasal defects, especially for the saddle nose. We present here our experience with the autogenous cartilage transplant from the auricular concha in our collective of 32 patients. The concha cartilage is used for saddle nose corrections and reconstruction of the alar cartilages. Auricular concha cartilage is an almost ideal transplant mate...
