Keywords: Accessory nostril, Rare anomaly, Congenital anomaly

Abstract

The accessory nostril is a very rare congenital anomaly with an unknown etiology also known as a supernumerary nostril. An 11-month-old male baby presented with an accessory opening above the right nostril since birth. At 1-year follow-up, the functional and cosmetic outcome was satisfactory. The corrective surgical procedure ought to be executed as quickly as time permits for the patient's psychosocial development.
