Abstract

Proboscis Lateralis (PL) is a rudimentary nasal appendage which is located off-center from the vertical midline of the face. It is a very rare craniofacial malformation frequently associated with abnormalities of the eyes and/or ocular adnexa. We report a unique case with bilateral ophthalmopathy and choanal atresia.
