Article Synopsis
- Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare craniofacial congenital malformation, with a classification system developed in 1985 that highlights its associated anomalies, notably sinonasal deformities and ocular issues.
- A case study of a 20-month-old girl with PL revealed complications after initial surgery, leading to the need for a second procedure to reconstruct the lacrimal drainage system, which was successfully performed with a multidisciplinary team.
- This case emphasizes the importance of comprehensive treatment plans for PL that take into account associated ocular anomalies and ensure proper lacrimal drainage reconstruction.
