| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT We describe here a very unusual case of 2 weeks Iraqi boy who was referred to our Otolaryngology department at the Assadar Teaching Hospital in Al - Najaf governorate in Iraq with history of cylindrical shaped mass projecting from area just medial to the medial canthus of the right eye. The mass was found since his birth and parents confirmed that the mass kept growing as the child grows. Clinical and histological examination showed that the mass structure is consistent with an accessory nose. No other congenital abnormalities were detected apart from complete mixed bony- membranous choanal atresia on the same side of the mass in which contemporary treated with simple mass surgical excision and closure. We regret that CT scan pictures are not available because the system was down during the surgery time. | ||
