Proboscis Lateralis with Heminasal Hypoplasia

Proboscis Lateralis is a rare congenital anomaly composed of an accessory tubular appendage with possible associated craniofacial anomalies. Computed tomography scan is essential for evaluation of the anomaly and proposing a plan of management. Treatment is complex and should be individualized. The authors present the case of an 18-month old female with left proboscis lateralis associated with left heminasal hypoplasia and coloboma of the left upper eyelid.
