What are the hazards of nasal septum deviation? Experts from the Department of Otolaryngology, Chengdu Armed Police Fire Hospital pointed out that the harm of nasal septum deviation is first manifested in the symptoms of nasal septum deviation: nasal congestion, headache, nosebleeds and nasal mucosal erosion. The real danger of nasal septum deviation lies in various complications caused by nasal septum deviation, even some fatal intracranial complications. Therefore, the harm of nasal septum deviation must be paid enough attention to by patients with nasal septum deviation. Common dangers of deviated nasal septum are as follows:

Harm of deviation of nasal septum 1, perforation of nasal septum;

① It mostly happens during soft tissue dissection during operation, and its bilateral parts are broken due to rough movements;

② When the nasal mucosa has infectious inflammation, even unilateral tearing can lead to perforation;

③ When the separation of soft tissues on both sides of nasal septum is insufficient, even if cartilage or bone is removed, it is easy to tear the soft tissues. If the cartilage on both sides is torn, the cartilage piece can be placed between the cracks on both sides, and a U-shaped plastic piece can be placed on the broken surface on both sides for protection. Then evenly press vaseline gauze strips on both sides, and finally carefully pull out the plastic sheet.

Harm of deviation of nasal septum II. Nasal septal hematoma:

Hematoma of nasal septum is caused by hemorrhage between perichondrium of nasal septum. If the nasal packing is pulled out after operation, it is found that there are semicircular protrusions on both sides of the nasal septum, which are soft in texture. The patient complains of nasal congestion, and even if ephedrine saline is dropped, the small hematoma can be absorbed by itself, and the larger hematoma must be treated.

The harm of deviated nasal septum. Nasal septum abscess: It is caused by bacterial infection of nasal septum hematoma, improper operation opportunity, infection of nasal cavity or infection of incision when there are many purulent secretions.

The harm of deviated nasal septum. Subnasal bridge collapse: most of them are caused by excessive removal of the bridge of the nose when the cartilage of the nasal septum is removed during operation, and the nasal abscess complicated after operation will also cause cartilage softening and necrosis if it is not handled properly in time. 5. Intracranial complications: This kind of deviation of nasal septum is rare, but the nasal abscess or cribriform plate is damaged, which increases the chance of intracranial infection and causes serious consequences of intracranial complications such as intracranial infection.

The above is an introduction to "the harm of nasal septum deviation". Experts from Chengdu Armed Police Fire Hospital warmly remind you that any disease should be found, diagnosed and treated early. Don't worry too much, keeping a good attitude and active treatment are the foundation of health.
