Abstract
- Introduction: Congenital vomer agenesis is an extremely rare condition in which the vomer bone does not fully develop, which can lead to septal perforation. Case Report: We report two cases with a defect in the vomer bone in the posteroinferior portion of the septum, found accidentally while performing a pre-operative CT scan for nasal obstruction evaluation. They were diagnosed with congenital vomer agenesis. Conclusion: There are afew reports of vomer agenesis in literatures. By increasing usage of sinonasal endoscopic examination, we expect to address more cases in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
