Extended External Rhinoplasty Approach For Nasal Dermoids With Intracranial Extension

Abstract

We present an extended external rhinoplasty approach with bilateral marginal and alar base incisions for removal of a nasal dermoid cyst with intracranial extension in a 3-year-old patient. This approach provides adequate exposure, enables nasal bone osteotomies, and allows access to the skull base while achieving a cosmetically acceptable scar. Laryngoscope, 133:2798-2802, 2023.
