- Abstract : Background: Congenital nasal cleft is a very rare yet challenging deformity to reconstruct. Atypical craniofacial clefts that involve the nasal ala are designated as number 1 and number 2 under the Tessier classification system. These clefts typically present as notches in the medial one-third of either nasal ala and may be accompanied by a malpositioned cartilaginous framework. Nasal clefts are smaller and far less common than familiar clefts of the lip and palate, but they pose equally challenging reconstructive planning. Methods: Our described technique relies on usage of existing nasal tissue near the cleft. Local tissue rearrangement using a laterally based rotational alar flap, a medially based triangular flap, and a nasal wall advancement flap restores normal anatomy and provides an aesthetically pleasing result. Results: Five children with isolated nasal cleft were treated by the senior author (A.M.) between 2010 and 2017. All patients presented with clefts of the soft tissue with no underlying cartilaginous involvement. There were no postoperative complications. Excellent aesthetic outcome was achieved in all patients. Conclusion: Isolated nasal cleft can be properly corrected with the described procedure in a single stage and with optimal result.
