Summary
Delayed onset nasal pain after trauma is rare but treatable. Combining neuropathic pain medication with intranasal steroids effectively managed a patient
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pain Medicine
- Neurology
Background:
- Nasal pain is a complex condition with diverse causes, often resistant to treatment.
- Post-traumatic nasal pain can manifest immediately or with a delay after injury.
Observation:
- A young woman presented with persistent nasal pain one month after facial trauma.
- This delayed onset pain was bothersome and difficult to manage with standard treatments.
Findings:
- The patient experienced significant improvement with a combination of first-line neuropathic pain medication and intranasal steroids.
- This suggests a dual approach addressing both nerve modulation and local inflammation is beneficial.
Implications:
- This case highlights a potential therapeutic strategy for delayed-onset post-traumatic nasal pain.
- Further research into combined treatments for this rare condition is warranted.

01:30Epistaxis
461
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:23Chronic Pharyngitis
9.9K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

01:03Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
11.0K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
9.4K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
