A male child 6 year old presenting acutely, following trauma, with the clinical appearance of a right nasal mass appearance
like ‘blueberry’ within the right nasal vestibule since 7 days. We recommend early surgical drainage and excision of this lesion,
as delay in definitive treatment may give rise to a cosmetic deformity.
The nose is one of the body regions that most frequently experience
trauma. For this reason, it is also the area of the face
that most frequently experiences fractures. Although the
fracture of nasal bones, simple or complex, is not the only
consequence that can accompany trauma. among the
most important secondary effects of nasal trauma is vascular
damage without drainage, which is complicated by the formation
of a hematoma. Nasal hematomas are principally
found at the nasal septal level and, if not treated adequately,
can present severe complications. Very few cases of nasal
hematomas affecting other areas of the nasal septum have
been reported. Till date only 8 to 10 cases were found
in literature in which the lesion was present at the level of the
alar cartilage and nasal tip. We present a case of a hematoma
of the nasal alar cartilage and nasal tip, which appeared following
a slight nasal trauma due to fall on ground in 7 year old
child. Emphasis should be placed on the importance of early
diagnosis and treatment in this type of lesion to maximally
prevent aesthetic complications and alterations.
A 6year old child sought medical consultation for right sided
nasal mass and swelling over right side of nasal tip since
7days following history of fall on ground . Seven days following
the history of fall patient experienced progressive swelling
of the right nasal cavity and over tip of nose without evident
bleeding. Parents of patient sought consultation after 7th day
of the incident. We saw the patient with a serious nasal respiratory obstruction from right nasal cavity and there was
swelling over tip of nose on right side and nasal mass in right
nasal cavity.
