Unusual Spontaneous Nasal Septal Abscess
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
A nasal septal abscess (NSA) is defined as a collection of pus between the cartilage or bony septum and the mucoperichondrium or mucoperiostium. It’s an uncommon disease that in the absence of early diagnosis and proper management may lead to lethal complications and cosmetic deformity. The most common presentation of the nasal septal abscess is nasal obstruction and pain. We present a healthy patient with idiopathic spontaneous nasal septal abscess who complained of acute complete nasal obstruction and nasal pain.
