Application of Tasman technique for congenital absence of nasal cartilage: A case report

摘要

Congenital absence of nasal cartilage is a rare phenomenon that cantake place in isolation or as part of a syndrome, including Apert, Fraser,and Binder Syndromes. Embryologically, the nose begins its development during the 4th week of gestation with the migration of the nasalplacodes. Specifically, the nasal septum begins its development duringweek 5, however, it is not until the 10th week that the primitive tissuesbegin their differentiation into cartilage and bone. The absence of thesestructures can have a devastating effect on both aesthetic and functionof the nose.
