“…Clinical presentation depends on the severity of nasal hypoplasia, and patient with atretic posterior choanae present with severe respiratory distress at birth 4 Our index case had respiratory distress due to presence of atretic posterior choanae where oral airway and oxygenation was initiated, also there was ongoing discussion with the family about tracheotomy Prenatal diagnostic advances have greatly improved the possibility of early detection of congenital anomalies. This gives not only an opportunity to plan and improve perinatal care but also offers the option to terminate the pregnancy for cases in which the prognosis is likely to be poor 6 but this was not possible in our case.…”

Congenital hyporhinia, also known as partial arhinia, is a very rare congenital abnormality of nasal embryogenesis with unknown etiology. It is commonly associated with other craniofacial anomalies which are thought to be caused by an absent or rudimentary nose. A 3‐h‐old neonate presented to our facility with hypoplastic nasal pyramid, hypertelorism, microcephaly, and micrognathia, a case of congenital hyporhinia with associated anomalies is presented and the embryology and literature review are discussed.

Congenital absence of the nasal septum in a Nigerian newborn with multiple congenital anomalies

et al. 2020

Congenital absence of the nasal septum (hyporhynia) is infrequently reported in the literature. We report a rare case in a newborn with multiple congenital anomalies with the aim to highlight its rarity and compatibility with life in a resource-limited setting. The case notes of the child were summarised and the relevant literature reviewed to give the report a context. A 2-hour-old term baby boy presented with a history of abnormal facie characterised by a single nostril and noisy breathing. On examination, he had stridulous breathing, bilateral proptosis, sloping of the forehead, depressed nasal bridge absent nasal septum, absence of columella and hypoplastic mid-face, among other dysmorphic features. A diagnosis of hyporhynia in a baby with multiple congenital anomalies was made and managed accordingly. The baby was discharged to continue follow-up. Congenital absence of the nasal septum is rare and could present without respiratory distress and may be compatible with life.
