Isolated Congenital Absence of Right Lower Lateral Cartilage and Reconstruction with Septal Cartilage : A Case Report and Review of Literature

AbstractHypodontia is the congenital absence of less than six teeth because of agenesis. Congenital absence of tooth (hypodontia) from the dental arch, may occur with any tooth, most commonly being third molars, however, absence of permanent mandibular canine is rare. The absence of teeth may be unilateral or bilateral. There are reports showing unilateral occurrence of permanent mandibular canines but agenesis of bilateral mandibular canines is not well documented in the literature and comprehensive review of literature shows paucity of data pertaining to this anomaly. Here we report one such rare case of congenitally missing mandibular permanent canines bilaterally.

Objectives Review the embryology of the cartilaginous nasal skeleton. Present an anatomic varient of the nasal skeletal anatomy not previously described. Methods Case report of an adult patient evaluated for nasal airway obstruction and suspected from clinical exam to have absence of the left lower lateral cartilage. Photographs document this first report of an absent lower lateral cartilage and surgical techniques to reconstitute the nasal tip. Results Surgical outcome of open structure rhinoplasty and photographs included. Patient pleased with functional and aesthetic results of procedure. Conclusions This previously unreported clinical entity extends the spectrum of congenital abnormalities of the nose and can be addressed successfully with open structure rhinoplasty techniques.

Nasal Process

Objective Rare congenital nasal anomalies include symmetric complete nasal duplication and asymmetric supernumerary nostrils. Complete nasal duplication may be either vertically stacked or horizontally oriented. It is a result of duplication of the nasal placode pair. Supernumerary structures include nostrils (with or without accessory cartilage) or fistulas that result from a fissure of the lateral nasal process. A case report is described whereby an adult accessory nostril, complete with an extra lower lateral cartilage, is repaired through direct excision and tip suturing. The importance of removing superfluous structures and reconstructing the normal anatomy by using an open rhinoplasty technique is stressed to achieve an aesthetic outcome.

External Rhinoplasty

Congenital nasal anomalies are rare and occur in 1/20 000–1/40 000 newborns. An 8-year-old boy presented with developmental aplasia of bilateral nasal lower lateral cartilages, with excessive wrinkled and loose skin on the dorsum of the nose and with difficulty breathing through the nose. This is probably the first such case to be reported in the literature. The defect was reconstructed using conchal and septal cartilage grafting through an external rhinoplasty approach. At the end of the 12-month follow-up period, the patient was found to be satisfied with the functional and aesthetic results of the operation. Bilateral congenital aplasia of nasal lower lateral cartilages is extremely rare. Paediatric rhinoplasty is imperative in such cases.

Nasal Bleeding

<p>A 27 years old male patient victim of road traffic accident presented to emergency department by ambulance team with ankle swelling and decrease range of motion, seen by orthopedic team and admitted as case of right ankle fracture for surgical intervention. Patient then referred to otolaryngology regarding on and off nasal bleeding and right nasal swelling arising from inner surface of right lower lateral cartilage of the nose 6 hour after the facial trauma, we present this case of hematoma of lower lateral cartilage which consider as one of the unique and rare condition following nasal and facial trauma. Early recognition of this condition is important, also differentiation between alar hematoma and septal cartilage hematoma is not easy for non-otolaryngology doctor, so increase awareness of this condition as one of possible sequel of fecal trauma and early referral to otolaryngology services is crucial. We present here a case of right sided alar cartilage hematoma, including the approach, management and follow up of the patient. We recommend early surgical drainage to optimize aesthetic out come after trauma.</p>

Etiological Factors

ABSTRACT Oligodontia, a form of hypodontia commonly seen in permanent than in deciduous dentition. It is defined as the congenital absence of six or more teeth, excluding third molars. It is relatively a rare condition that can occur either as an isolated finding or as part of a syndrome. A case of nonsyndromic oligodontia in a 12-year-old boy with congenital absence of all permanent teeth except the premolars (excluding third molars) and over-retained deciduous dentition with conical shaped anteriors is reported. The prevalence, possible etiological factors and treatment options of the condition is reviewed.
