Congenital arhinia.
In a case of congenital absence of the nose, spiral axial CT showed a tiny piriform anterior aperture on the right that ended blindly. Three-dimensional reformation of CT data showed an atretic bony plate, blind-ending right nostril, absent nasal bones, and inferior continuation of the metopic suture. Noncontrast MR findings in the brain were normal.
