title: Nasal reconstruction combined with dacryocystorhinostomy in a patient with absence of half of the nose.
abstract: This article describes a rare case of unilateral arhinia (congenital absence of half of the nose), in which total nasal reconstruction was performed. A glass Jones tube was used to create a new nasolacrimal duct connecting the lumen of the existing lacrimal sac to the contralateral normal nasal cavity.
