Multiple lacrimal drainage anomalies in proboscis lateralis.

Proboscis lateralis is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly characterized mostly by a nose-like tubular appendage, ipsilateral deformed nose and ocular anomalies, believed to be secondary to fusion defects involving the embryonic maxillary process. To the best of authors' knowledge, only one report with some description of the lacrimal drainage anomalies in proboscis lateralis exists in literature and the present case describes these anomaliesin detail.
