“…The characteristic appearance of NSA on anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy is septal swelling, usually bilateral due to septal cartilage reabsorption as a consequence of ischaemia and necrosis [10,11]. Our patient's case shows that a timely diagnosis is important in case of NSA because delayed treatment may lead to life-threatening complications such as intracranial abscess or cosmetic deformities [9,[11][12][13]. After appropriate radiological investigation, immediate surgical bilateral drainage of abscess is necessary, along with parenteral antibiotic therapy.…”

Introduction: Nasal septal abscess (NSA) in the pediatric population is an uncommon condition, but it can cause devastating complications (such as potentially life-threatening intracranial infections and cosmetic nasal deformity). The objective of this study is to report a case of an pediatric patient presenting with NSA in association with frontal-ethmoid acute sinusitis and intracranial abscess. Method and Results: In this study, we report a case of an 8-year-old patient who progressed from spontaneous nasal septal abscess to sinusitis (maxillary, frontal and ethmoidal), cosmetic nasal deformity (destruction of septal cartilage) and intracranial complication. The purulent collection necessitated urgent surgical drainage and adequate medical treatment. Conclusion: Nasal septal abscess in children is a rare condition that necessitates early appropriate drainage in order to prevent severe life-threatening complications. Furthermore, in the growing child, in case of total destruction of the cartilaginous septum, immediate reconstruction with autologous cartilage graft is essential for normal development of the nose and maxilla.

“…In about three-fourths of cases, the etiological agent is identified to be trauma followed by causes secondary to sinusitis, vestibulitis, dental pathologies with rare reporting of spontaneous cases [4]. Mostly NSA patients present with nasal obstruction with associated symptoms of pain, fever, malaise, headache, purulent nasal discharge, and delayed presentations can be cosmetic deformity of the nose such as saddle nose or any intracranial complication.…”

“…The most common cause of NSA is aerobic bacteria to be specific; Staphylococcus aureus accounts for the majority of cases in adults and Haemophilus influenza in the pediatric population [ 4 ]. In the literature, the complications of NSA are categorized into: local, systemic, orbital, and cranial [ 3 ].…”

Since the first report of a nasal septal abscess (NSA) from a dental origin (1920), six articles have been published in the English literature to date. The most common cause of NSA is an infection of the nasal septal hematoma after trauma. This is a report of an uncommon cause of NSA with a dental origin. A PubMed search performed regardless of year and country using the terms (“nasal septal abscess”) OR (“nasal septum abscess”) initially yielded 229 articles. After screening, seven articles (eight patients) were selected. Addition of two related articles produced a total of nine articles (10 patients) to be included. The age of the included patients ranged from 7 to 69 years (mean, 32.82 years; standard deviation, ±23.86 years). The sex composition was as followed: males (n=7; 63.6%), females (n=4; 36.4%). Dental histories were various: periapical lesions, caries, extraction, endodontic therapy, and cystic lesions. The maxillary incisor dominated as the tooth of origin. Early diagnosis and treatment of NSAs are important to avoid not only facial deformity, but also severe complications (e.g., intracranial infection). If NSA is suspected in patients without facial trauma, the possibility of a dental origin, especially from the maxillary incisor area, should be considered.
