Original Location of Congenital Nasal Sinus "Midcolumella": A Modified Inverted V Incision Technique.

Among the rare congenital malformations, congenital nasal sinuses with blind end are extremely unusual. To the best of our knowledge, a sinus located in the midcolumellar region has not been reported yet. Since there is no consensus about the treatment of midcolumellar sinus, to manage the case as individually as possible was our priority. Considering the patient's age, aesthetic concerns, and requirement of septorhinoplasty in the future, the known inverted V incision was modified to provide surgical excision without any extra scar in the midcolumellar line. This report emphasizes a patient-specific treatment of a 15-year-old female patient presented for congenital sinus in the midcolumellar area.
