title: Hemi aplasia of the nose with complete cleft lip and palate of the contralateral side.
abstract: Nasal aplasia, including hemi aplasia of the nose, is a rare congenital anomaly of the nose. Since the ipsilateral side tends to be affected more frequently than the contralateral side of the face in half nose anomalies, only reports concerning the ipsilateral defect are numerous. This report presents an unusual case of hemi aplasia of the nose with complete cleft lip and palate of the contralateral side. A local flap on the nasal dorsum was used for nasal reconstruction, where correction of the elongation of the inner canthal distance and the shape of the inner canthus was performed.
