Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Nasal septal abscess (NSA) is a rare but critical rhinologic emergency.
  • NSA typically arises from infection between the nasal septum and its lining, often due to hematoma or idiopathic causes.
  • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent severe complications.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a 46-year-old male with no prior risk factors presenting with NSA.
  • The patient received broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment.
  • Surgical intervention included incision, drainage, and placement of a Penrose drain and silastic sheet.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful surgical treatment for nasal septal abscess.
  • Postoperative management involved a Penrose drain and silastic sheet placement.
  • The patient recovered without developing septal perforation or saddle nose deformity.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of timely medical and surgical management for NSA.
  • Effective treatment can avert long-term sequelae such as septal perforation and saddle nose deformity.
  • Even in the absence of typical risk factors, NSA requires vigilant diagnosis and management.
