Abstract
Some of the congenital anomalies of the nose give a preternatural and demoniacal look to to the baby apart from the functional disabilities that are quite often concomitant. Besides, the child develops serious psychological problems due to the deformity. An early correction is mandatory for cosmetic improvement and functional rehabilitation. Five rare malformations are reported.
