Milia cysts along the nasal groove in a child.
The occurrence of transverse linear milia cysts over the dorsum of the nose in an 11-year-old girl is described. Two younger sisters of the proband had a conspicuous nasal groove at the same site without milia. The anatomical basis and the pathogenesis of the so-called 'transverse nasal crease' are reviewed.
