Abstract: Ectopic eruption into the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon and even rarer among cleft lip and palate patients. A case of an intranasal tooth associated with cacosmia in a 5-year-old patient with cleft lip and palate is reported. Several previous surgeries had been performed to correct the patient’s cleft. The patient was evaluated by computed tomography, and the tooth was removed from the nostril. The etiology of this phenomenon is discussed.
Keywords: Cleft lip.
Cleft palate.
