Repetitive Postoperative Infection after Le Fort I Osteotomy in a Patient with a History of Non-allergic Rhinitis

Abstract

Maxillary sinus infection following Le Fort I osteotomy is rare in patients without a history of preexisting nasal symptoms. A case of a 19-year-old male patient who suffered from preoperative chronic non-allergic rhinitis and developed repetitive postoperative maxillary sinus infection after Le Fort I osteotomy is reported.
