proboscis lateralis
MONDO:0015390
Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare congenital facial abnormality characterized by failed development of the external nose on one side that is replaced by a tubular structure composed of skin and soft tissue usually attached at the inner canthus of the eye and therefore often associated with maldevelopment of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses of the affected side. PL is also associated with other craniofacial abnormalities such as orbital anomalies, cleft lip/palate, frontal encephalocele and holoprosencephaly.

Proboscis (anomaly)
In teratology, a proboscis is a blind-ended, tube-like structure, commonly located in the middle of the face. It is often seen in severe forms of holoprosencephaly that include cyclopia and is usually the result of abnormal development of the nose.
