Abstract
Frontonasal dysplasia is an unusual congenital condition with a wide phenotypic range. Because of this, only a small number of cases and their management have been reported in the literature. The ideal surgical procedures to correct mild cases of frontonasal dysplasia, and the time to perform them, are still controversial. The case of a 9-month-old girl with a mild form of this condition (a congenital bifid nose and a duplicated frenulum), and its surgical management, is presented. The surgery achieved an early improvement of the patient's appearance and she had no complications. In the future, it is probable that she will need secondary rhinoplasty to aid in the projection of the tip and refine the shape of the nose.
