A case of complete congenital arhinia was reported recently:

While this is reported by a WP:RS, it's not a WP:MEDRS so can't be put in the article, but I thought it would still be useful to mention here. I wonder if it would be possible to track down a source for the figure cited of "only about 37 cases worldwide". -- 79.123.80.232 (talk) 12:47, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've dug a bit deeper, and found this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3966695/ , which gives a figure of 43 cases reported as of 2014 since the first recorded report in 1931. -- 79.123.80.232 (talk) 12:52, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
