Prenatal diagnosis of total arhinia associated with normal chromosomal analysis: a case report.

Abstract

This report reviews both the diagnosis of arhinia and the associated neonatal care and outcome. Arhinia should be considered when the fetal profile appears to have a flattened midface and a prominent upper lip. Diagnosis may be aided by third or fourth ultrasound imaging. Due to neonatal airway issues, delivery with pediatric support available is recommended if the condition is suspected prenatally.
