Proboscis lateralis is one of the rare craniofacial congenital anomalies which presents as an obvious deformity of the nose. It tends to occur in male offspring of consanguineous marriages. This is a report of computerized tomography of this rare anomaly. In proboscis lateralis, the nasal cavity on one side is completely normal, while on the affected side it is replaced by a trunk-like process attached to the medial portion of the orbital roof. This anomaly occurs sporadically as an isolated defect or in association with other anomalies. It is usually associated with developmental failure of the paranasal sinuses and the nasolacrimal duct.
侧鼻畸形是一种罕见的颅面先天性畸形，表现为明显的鼻部畸形。它往往发生在近亲结婚的男性后代中。本文报道了这种罕见畸形的计算机断层扫描结果。在侧鼻畸形中，一侧鼻腔完全正常，而患侧鼻腔被一个附着于眶顶内侧部分的管状突起所取代。这种畸形可作为孤立缺陷散发性出现，或与其他畸形并存。它通常与鼻窦和鼻泪管发育不全有关。
