Nasal augmentation in chondrodysplasia punctata using tissue expansion.

Chondrodysplasia punctata is an uncommon group of congenital bone dysplasias. A common feature of this disease is a characteristic facial appearance including nasal hypoplasia. This paper describes the management of a case presenting with this disease in which soft tissue augmentation was achieved with tissue expansion of the nasal skin. Follow-up of more than 4 years demonstrates that a satisfactory result has been achieved, with no facial scars. The relevant literature is discussed.
