Abstract
Bifid nose is a rare congenital abnormality and its surgical correction is difficult. We represent a case of bifid nose with mild nasal deformity without cerebral or lip deformity. We performed rhinoplasty with a kind of the forked flap at one year of age and the appearance improved.
Highlights
Bifid nose is one of the features of Tessier’s No 0 or No 14 craniofacial clefts [1], and is caused by the failure of the medial and lateral nasal processes to achieve contact with each other during the first eight weeks of fetal life
There are few reports of the surgical correction of bifid nose, and we describe here our experience of bifid nose due to Tessier’s No 0 cleft
The design was similar to a forked flap, to elevate the nasal tip (Figures 3 and 4)
Summary
Bifid nose is one of the features of Tessier’s No 0 or No 14 craniofacial clefts [1], and is caused by the failure of the medial and lateral nasal processes to achieve contact with each other during the first eight weeks of fetal life. There are few reports of the surgical correction of bifid nose, and we describe here our experience of bifid nose due to Tessier’s No 0 cleft. We performed rhinoplasty with a type of the forked flap [2] at one year one month of age and achieved relatively good results
