title: Inverted Supernumerary Nostril Together with Tessier 3 Incomplete Cleft: A Rare Congenital Deformity Case Report.
abstract: Supernumerary nostril and oblique facial cleft are both rare congenital anomalies. Here, we present a 2-year-old patient with a supernumerary nostril and a Tessier 3 incomplete facial cleft, which have not been reported previously. It should also be mentioned that the nostril and ala of this supernumerary nostril were inverted, which differs from the previous cases. Surgery was undertaken to excise the supernumerary nostril and correct the facial cleft anomaly, and the outcomes were both functionally and aesthetically satisfactory.
