Nasal septal hematoma is a condition affecting the nasal septum.[1] It can be associated with trauma.[2]
A septal hematoma is blood that collects in the space between the septal cartilage and the overlying perichondrium (a cross section of the cartilaginous portion of the nasal septum). A hematoma may deprive the septal cartilage of its blood supply from the overlying mucosa and can lead to permanent sequelae.[3]
The septal cartilage has no blood supply of its own and receives all of its nutrients and oxygen from the perichondrium. An untreated septal hematoma may lead to the destruction of the septum and immediate drainage is necessary. Untimely diagnosis and/or treatment of septal hematomas can cause what is called a saddle nose deformity.[4]
This condition is more common in children because the septum is thicker and the lining more flexible.[5]
