Paramedian nasal cleft is a rare congenital malformation of the nose. It is characterized by a cleft in the nasal septum that runs from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose. This cleft can cause difficulty breathing, as well as a deformity of the nose. Treatment typically involves reconstructive surgery to correct the deformity and improve breathing.

The most common symptom of a paramedian nasal cleft is a visible gap in the bridge of the nose. Other symptoms may include a flattened nasal bridge, a wide nasal bridge, a wide nasal tip, a wide nostril, and a wide nasal base. In some cases, the cleft may also cause difficulty breathing through the nose.

The exact cause of paramedian nasal cleft is unknown, but it is thought to be related to abnormal development of the nasal bones and cartilage during fetal development. It is also associated with other congenital anomalies, such as cleft lip and palate, and may be caused by genetic factors or environmental factors.

1. Surgery: The most common treatment for a paramedian nasal cleft is surgical repair. This involves closing the cleft and reshaping the nose to create a more symmetrical appearance.

2. Fillers: Injectable fillers can be used to fill in the cleft and create a smoother, more symmetrical appearance.

3. Skin grafts: Skin grafts can be used to cover the cleft and create a more natural-looking nose.

4. Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can be used to reshape the nose and improve its appearance.
