Proboscis Lateralis–A Case Report

Zafar Iqbal, Sc Sharma

Abstract :

Proboscis lateralis is a rare cranio-facial malformation for which no emyological basis has been established

however it is emyologically related to the median facial cleft , and may be associated with other anomalies of the
eye and its adnexa and cleft lip and palate. A child with type 2 Proboscis lateralis was treated by single-stage simple excision of the defect
with fashioning of the ipsilateral Lower lateral cartilage to appropriate contour for Naso-labial groove correction. This procedure helped in
achieving satisfactory cosmetic result
