HentatiNeonatology department, Hedi Chaker hospital, Sfax, TunisiaABSTRACTCongenital arhinia or nasal absence is a rare condition, with only less than 100 cases published in the literature to date. It is a rare condition that causes respiratory distress during the neonatal period. Although airway stabilization is the priority, management is not clearly defined given the rarity of the malformation. We report a case of arhinia in a female neonate and briefly review the literature.KEYWORDS : Arhinia, congenital malformation, multi-displinary medical care, prognosisCorrespandant author: Dr Nadia Kolsi,University hospital assistant, departement of neonatology University Hospital Hedi Chaker Sfax
