Half nose

Half Nose

“…According to Birrell (1978), absence of one half of the nose is very rare. Cases have been reported by Fatin (1955), by Ogura and Onoda (1967) and by Kukreja (1973). Other cases have been reported in the German literature: Selenkoff (1884) reported, postmortem, complete absence of the right half of the nose with a high arched palate in an adult male who had died of alcohol and fever; Tiefenthal (1910) reported absence of the right half of the nose with deformity of the right half of the face in a 37-year-old female; and Wicke (1972) reported another case in a 3-year-old female child who was born prematurely and whose breathing was obstructed.…”
