Abstract:
We report a patient with recurrent discharging sinus over the nasal bridge which was finally diagnosed as pilonidal sinus over the nasal bridge. Nasal pilonidal sinus is a rare condition that presents as a chronic and recurrent inflammation of the hair follicles and surrounding tissues of the nose, leading to the formation of abscesses and sinus tracts. The following report deals the dilemma of diagnosing and management of the patient. Though rare, nasal pilonidal sinus should be included as a differential diagnosis to aid in management as well as to improve awareness and inclusion of this condition. This report provides an overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of nasal pilonidal sinus.
