Abstrakt:	Introduction: A supernumerary nostril is one of the rarest congenital nasal abnormalities. Recently we encountered a 16-months-old patient with 3 supernumerary nostrils that was located at left side of the nose and performed an operation on this case. We reported a rare case of three supernumerary nostril located at left side of the nose. Case Presentation: A 14-month-old male baby was referred to our clinic for assessment of a nose deformity. Physical examination revealed an asymmetrical ala of nose with 3 supernumerary nostrils at left side and a normal right nostril. She was diagnosed with supernumerary rostril and underwent fistulectomy of the accessory nasal tract, followed by nostril reconstruction with primary closure of margin defect at 16-month-old. There was no complication and she was discharged the next day. One month after surgery triamcinolone was injected at scar. Nasal cavity retainer is still maintained in place as aftercare for at least 3-months-post-surgery. We obtained an event-free postoperative result with good function and aesthetic results. Discussion: Supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare case. It should not be confused with a double nose. Surgery should be performed at an early age. Nevertheless, we performed surgery at 16-month-old baby and still obtained satisfying result. Conclusion: Surgical technique performed at this rare supernumerary nostril case was fistulectomy of the accessory nasal tract, followed by nostril reconstruction good functions, aesthetic results post operatively.
