Abstract

This case report relates to the surgical treatment of arhinia in a 6-year-old child. The external nose was constructed during the first stage with a forehead flap and a triangular rib graft. The nasal cavities were drilled out and lined during the second stage. In a third stage, the cavities were amplified, and silicone tubes were introduced for at least 1 year.
