Arrhinia is an extremely rare, major congenital malformation consisting of an absence of the nose ranging from hyporrhinia (absence of external nasal structures) to total arrhinia (absence of external nose, nasal airways, olfactory bulbs, or olfactory nerve) often causing respiratory distress and requiring surgical correction. Arrhinia can be bilateral or unilateral (hemiarrhinia). Associated anomalies include ocular features (hypertelorism, microphthalmia, eyelid coloboma), facial clefts, midline defects and microtia.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for arrhinia has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for arrhinia.
178 publications have been identified in PubMed for arrhinia. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (28%), Case Report / Case Series (21%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (20%).
