Clinical Photo of The Week: Vol2, No3

This case was presented in the current edition (vol2No3) of otorhinolaryngology news:
An 11-year old male presented with 3-week history of persistent fever, nasal obstruction with mouth breathing, and swelling of the nose. The symptoms were preceded by history of blunt injury to the nose while trying to separate his classmates who were fighting. There was little response to antibiotic therapy given by the GP before referral. Examination revealed the nasal feature displayed on this radiograph.
Diagnosis: Septal Abscess. About 12mls of pus was drained in this particular case. The pus was believed to have resulted from a possible septal haematoma following the blunt injury to nasal pyramid.
