Summary
Nasal septal abscesses (NSA) require prompt treatment to avoid complications like saddle nose deformity. Most patients recover well with intranasal drainage, but risk factors for NSA remain broad.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Medical Research
Background:
- Nasal septal abscesses (NSA) are serious conditions requiring immediate attention to prevent long-term issues.
- A comprehensive review focusing solely on NSA has been lacking.
Conclusions:
- Nasal septal abscesses can affect individuals irrespective of their medical history, including those with or without immunodeficiency, trauma, or prior nasal surgery.
- Inadequate treatment of NSA can lead to significant functional and aesthetic complications.
