NASAL DERMOID SINUS CYSTS - AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION, COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC SCAN FINDINGS, AND SURGICAL RESULTS

Midline nasal dermoid cysts are congenital lesions resulting from aber rant embryological development. Accurate diagnosis and effective treat ment are essential to avoid craniofacial skeletal deformations, cyst r upture, and infection that could cause cutaneous, ocular, or intracran ial complications. We report an unusual case of congenital midline nas al dermoid cysts in which an 18-month-old child presented to a hospita l emergency department with periorbital cellulitis. It resulted from m ultiple midline nasal dermoid cysts involving the nasal, forehead, and both orbital regions but without intracranial extension. The patient was successfully managed with a craniofacial approach.
