“…[20] This, "fissuring of the lateral nasal process" during development is the most accepted and cited theory by various authors. [19,20,21] This theory may explain the presence of supernumerary nostril occurring in isolation but fails to explain the anomalies associated which are present in significant (45%) percentage of patients and also presence of hydrocephalus as seen in our case. The presence of associated anomalies in supernumerary nostril cases may be due to early significant embryological interruption.…”

Congenital hydrocephalus, corpus callosum agenesis, and prosencephalic cyst with supernumerary nostril: A neurocristopathy

A 3-month-old-male infant presented with enlargement of head since birth. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed congenital hydrocephalus, corpus callosum agenesis, prosencephalic cyst, and cranial vault deficiency with supernumerary nostril on the left side. Right ventriculoperitoneal shunt (Chhabra shunt) surgery was performed. The patient did well postoperatively. Parents of the patient have been counseled for repair of supernumerary nostril. Congenital hydrocephalus with corpus callosum agenesis is rare. Furthermore, supernumerary nostril is a very rare anomaly with <40 cases reported in the literature till date. To the best of our knowledge, congenital hydrocephalus, corpus callosum agenesis, prosencephalic cyst, and cranial vault deficiency associated with supernumerary nostril have not been reported till date. We herein briefly review the pertinent literature and describe the embryopathogenesis of this rare association. We propose that this association is a neurocristopathy.

“…In cases of supernumerary nostril where the greater alar cartilage was under-developed, it was necessary to leave the nasal cavity retainer in place as aftercare [ 11 ]. Previous studies suggested for postoperative nasal retainer to be inserted for at least 2–3 months [ 12 , 15 ]. In our study nasal retainer was maintained for at least 4 months to prevent nostril contracture.…”

“…1 A review of the literature revealed that only 33 cases have been reported so far. 2 (1) Lindsay was the first to report such a case in the English literature in 1906. 3 (2) Tawse (1920) 4 described a patient with a unilateral supernumerary nostril, which communicated with the nasal cavity.…”

Isolated Congenital Supernumerary Nostril in an Adult Patient

2020

The supernumerary nostril is a congenital accessory nostril, which is considered to be one of the rarest congenital nasal anomalies with an unknown etiology. We present the first case of a supernumerary nostril in an adult Saudi patient, which is the first such isolated case to be reported among the Middle Eastern Arab countries. An 18-year-old Saudi woman presented to the facial plastic clinic of King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, with a complaint of an additional small left nasal opening since birth. She underwent circumferential surgical excision of the accessory nostril and its entire tract, following which the overlying skin was sutured. The patient appeared fine postoperatively with a satisfactory nasal appearance. In conclusion, patients with supernumerary nostrils should be thoroughly assessed to eliminate the presence of any other associated congenital anomalies. Early diagnosis and surgical management can facilitate a better reconstructive outcome.
