Heminasal aplasia is a rare congenital anomaly of nose that has rarely been reported in the English literature. The surgical management remains a challenge due to its rarity and lack of uniform management guidelines. We report a case of heminasal aplasia, managed successfully at our institute and systematic review of the available literature.
