Median philtrum sinus: a rare presentation and review of management options.

Nasal dermoids are rare congenital abnormalities, and there is only one previously reported case of a philtrum sinus tract extending to the skull base. A 2-month-old boy was presented with an incidental finding of a median philtrum sinus with no infective features and no other abnormal clinical findings. MRI demonstrated a sinus tract extending from the philtrum to the crista galli. On multidisciplinary review, a conservative approach was taken due to the asymptomatic nature of the patient. Given the rarity of nasal dermoids, diagnosis requires precise clinical examination and MRI to identify the extent of the tract. Management options require a multidisciplinary case-specific approach and include non-surgical as well as surgical approaches.
