Abstract
In a 50-year-old housewife anterior nasal atresia was diagnosed and treated with surgical enlargement of the stenosis with a skin flap transplantation technique under local anesthesia.She was able to breathe comfortably through the nose after the operation. Rhinomanometry, which is an objective evaluation of nasal patency, showed obvious reduction of nasal resistance to airflow after the surgical repair. The stenosis has not recurred during the approximately two years since the skin flap transplantation operation.We reviewed the 49 reported cases of anterior nasal atresia in Japan, including our case, and discuss this rare condition.
