Abstract
Midline nasal dermoid cysts are congenital lesions resulting from aberrant embryological development. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential to avoid craniofacial skeletal deformations, cyst rupture, and infection that could cause cutaneous, ocular, or intracranial complications. We report an unusual case of congenital midline nasal dermoid cysts in which an 18-month-old child presented to a hospital emergency department with periorbital cellulitis. It resulted from multiple midline nasal dermoid cysts involving the nasal, forehead, and both orbital regions but without intracranial extension. The patient was successfully managed with a craniofacial approach.Keywords
