  • Title: Nasal septal abscess complicated with acute sinusitis and facial cellulitis in a child.
    Author: Lin IH, Huang IS.
    Journal: Auris Nasus Larynx; 2007 Jun; 34(2):241-3. PubMed ID: 17059875.
    Abstract:
    Non-traumatic nasal septal abscess is rare, commonly seen in patients with poor immunity, and presents as isolated nasal septal abscess. Further, nasal septal abscess complicated with acute sinusitis is rather rare. Very little literature has been generated for non-traumatic nasal septal abscess complicated with acute sinusitis in healthy patients. Prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment will help to prevent the complications associated with nasal septal abscess such as saddle nose and intracranial involvement. Herein, to our knowledge, we present the first case involving an otherwise healthy little girl with nasal septal abscess complicated with acute sinusitis and facial cellulitis.
