Description
Jingjing Guo and co-authors report surgery for a rare congenital narrowing of the nostril opening in an eleven-year-old boy, in a 2026 case report. The condition is often called by inconsistent names in the medical literature. That naming confusion hampers clear description and surgical planning. The authors propose a refined, standard name.
The boy had breathed through his mouth all his life and had a flattened nasal tip. A thin membrane blocked each nostril, leaving only a pinhole gap. Imaging confirmed the anatomy before surgery. The team describes the repair and its successful outcome. Surgeons gain a clear template for this rare defect. The naming proposal may tidy future reports.
