[1]This may be brought on directly, as in the case of nasal piercings, or indirectly, as by long-term topical drug application, including nasal administration of ethylphenidate, methamphetamine, cocaine, crushed prescription pills, or ...
Nasal septal abscess is a condition of the nasal septum [1] in which there is a collection of pus between the mucoperichondrium and septal cartilage. Signs and symptoms [ edit ]
Incomplete correction with persistent nasal symptoms [6] Nasal septum perforation [6] due to bilateral trauma of the mucoperichondrial flaps opposite each other. Saddle nose due to over-resection of the dorsal wall of the septal cartilage; Scarring inside the nose and nose bleeding [6] Septal hematoma [6] and septal abscess.
Bleeding from the nose, also called epistaxis, may occur when the dried discharge (crusts) are removed. Septal perforation and dermatitis of nasal vestibule can occur. The nose may show a saddle-nose deformity. Atrophic rhinitis is also associated with similar atrophic changes in the pharynx or larynx, producing symptoms pertaining to these ...
The nasal septum contains bone and hyaline cartilage. [3] It is normally about 2 mm thick. [4] The nasal septum is composed of four structures: Maxillary bone (the crest) Perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone. Septal nasal cartilage (ie, quandrangular cartilage) Vomer bone. The lowest part of the septum is a narrow strip of bone that projects ...

Adhesions and synechiae between septal mucosa and lateral nasal wall. Saddle nose due to over-resection of the dorsal wall of the septal cartilage. Dropped nasal tip due to resection of the caudal margin.
