Abstract
Congenital isolated anomalies of nasal cartilages are very rare and the etiology is still not fully understood. Although congenital defects of the lower lateral cartilage are usually associated with functional or major cosmetic problems, they may also occasionally be presented as asymptomatic and incidental. Although their superiority to each other is not well known, several methods have previously been described for reconstruction of the defect with autologous cartilage grafts or allogenic grafts. With proper intraoperative planning, satisfactory results can be achieved in rhinoplasty operation in such cases. In this article we aimed to present a case of congenital unilateral isolated total lower lateral cartilage absence in a patient without any functional complaints and the reconstruction of it with autogenous cartilage graft.
