Proboscis Lateralis

Objective: This report aims to describe unique manifestations of proboscis lateralis and highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to address the problems that arise from this rare congenital anomaly. Methods: Study Design:            Case Report Setting:                       Tertiary Government Hospital Patient:                      One Results: A 13 year-old girl diagnosed with proboscis lateralis presented with a trunk-like appendage projecting from the surface of the right supramedial canthal area. She also had clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, mouth-breathing, and snoring since birth. Paranasal Sinus (PNS) CT scan with 3D reconstruction showed agenesis of the right paranasal sinuses, and expansile aeration of the left paranasal sinuses. Due to her condition, the drainage system of the paranasal sinuses was obstructed, causing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This hindered plans for reconstructive surgery despite medical management, hence the patient underwent Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). Conclusion: Proboscis lateralis is a rare congenital anomaly that results in aesthetic problems as well as airway concerns, such as rhinosinusitis and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Management entails a multidisciplinary approach to address functional and aesthetic problems of the patient.

Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare laryngeal anomaly. We present a case of absence of the epiglottis in a child whose clinical course has been followed for nine years. She required a tracheostomy at two years of age for obstructive sleep apnea which resulted in heart failure; she was eventually decannulated at age seven. This case report highlights the clinical challenges faced in the identification and treatment of the sequelae of this defect. Both endoscopic and computed tomography (CT) documentation are provided. Embryological development and a review of the literature are also discussed.

Patient Reported

ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by complete or partial obstructions of the upper airway. In this study we are presenting a case report of 11-year-old male patient with enlarged adenoids and tonsils, convex profile, receded chin, lower lip trap, class II skeletal and dental relationship with increased overjet. Surgical removal of enlarged adenoids was done before commencement of twinblock therapy. After this, two-step advancement with expansion in both arches utilizing twin blocks was planned. Four months into the treatment, patient reported with history of facial trauma with avulsed maxillary left central incisor. Twin block was then modified with pontic as replacement for maxillary left central incisor. Sagittal correction resulting in class I molar relationship was achieved in next 6 months. Fixed appliance therapy was followed. The design of the appliance and the results achieved after the postfunctional therapy are presented in this case report.
