Introduction: Nasal duplication is a rare congenital deformity with many subtypes including supernumerary nostril. The challenge of surgical correction is to achieve nasal symmetry and restore nasal airflow. However, there is no defined protocol for treatment, especially with regard to presurgical therapy. Methods: We performed a review of literature of studies reporting on patients with supernumerary nostril to complete this review. We then report on a patient with supernumerary nostril who was treated with nostril expansion therapy prior to surgical intervention. Results: We identified 59 cases of nostril duplication. Because of the rarity of the condition, treatment protocols varied greatly. For our patient, preoperative nasal appliance therapy was implemented for 3 months prior to surgical intervention. Patient was followed-up regularly for 1 year. Discussion: Although literature on nasal duplication is scarce, there is a general agreement that early intervention has psychological, anatomic, and functional benefits to the patient. In our case report, nostril expansion therapy was easy to implement and facilitated surgical reconstruction, resulting in aesthetic outcome and expanded airway 1 year postoperatively.

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.

Objective: To describe a rare case of a supernumerary nostril and its management, and to discuss the different theories pertaining to this type of deformity. Methods:             Design:           Case Report             Setting:           Tertiary Government Hospital             Patient:           One Results: A 15-year-old girl was born with one extra nasal opening. Nasal endoscopy after 15 years revealed a mucosa-lined cavity that ended blindly. Computed tomography scan showed a small opening lateral to the right nasal ala which did not communicate with the right nasal cavity. A crescent incision was made along the inner circumference of the supernumerary nostril and the blind ending nasal tract was excised. A portion of the ala was removed and a Z-plasty repair was performed. Conclusion: Treatment has to be tailored as to the presentation of a supernumerary nostril and any other associated deformity. Though various surgical interventions exist, the goal of repair is to create a functioning and normal-appearing nose. Keywords: Supernumerary Nostril, Accessory Nostril
