@entity66 of the external nose appear during embryologic development. Their usual location is midline nasal area. The most common are @entity48 , @entity11 , @entity3976 and meningocele. The histopatology confirms @entity48 in 60%. Diagnosis is based mainly on clinical examination of the @entity1 . Computer tomography and magnetic resonance are useful to reveal the pathway of intracranial herniation or presence of associated anomalies of the cranial bones. A complete surgical removal of the lesion is the only effective treatment. In Plastic Surgery Clinic in Lodz, 20 @entity1 2-20 years old were operated between the years 1973-2004. Treatment consisted of simple surgical excision of the nasal lesion. The @entity48 was diagnosed in 55%. In 3 cases, where @entity3976 were observed, a preparation and simple ligature was performed. The results of all operations were satisfactory. @entity66 of the external nose should be considered as @entity48 , @entity11 , @entity3976 or meningocele. Complete excision is very important. Deformations of the nose after surgery are to be corrected after the facial skull growth process ends.
