summary

The external nasal process is located in the middle of the face, which is easy to be impacted by external force in peacetime or wartime. Fracture can be limited to nasal bone, but also involved in maxillary frontal process, ethmoid sinus, lacrimal bone, orbital wall, ethmoid bone median plate and cribriform plate, nasal septal cartilage and medial canthus ligament and other surrounding structures, resulting in external nasal deformity and nasal dysfunction. Let's share my experience with you.

Left nasal bone fracture symptoms?

A few hours later, swelling and congestion occurred in the nose and surrounding soft tissues and eyelids. At this time, the deformity of the external nose was not obvious. When the swelling subsided, the deformity reappeared.

When comminuted fracture occurs, air can enter the subcutaneous part of nose, eyelid and cheek from the damaged nasal mucosa and lacrimal apparatus, causing subcutaneous emphysema, especially when blowing nose. Because often accompanies the nose mucous membrane to tear, therefore has the nose hemorrhage.

If the injury is serious, the nasal flow of clear water or light red blood water like fluid indicates the ethmoid plate injury, meningeal tear and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. Due to the blockage of blood clot or foreign body in nasal cavity, swelling of nasal mucosa, or displacement of cartilage and bone in nasal septum, nasal obstruction may occur. If the nose frontal injury involves the olfactory nerve, there may be olfactory dysfunction.

matters needing attention

Nasal bone fracture should be diagnosed as early as possible and treated in time before local soft tissue swelling within 2-3 hours after injury; If the local swelling and congestion are obvious and cannot be checked and treated, we should try our best to reduce the swelling within 7-10 days after injury, although we can wait for the swelling to subside; If more than 2 weeks, local callus, scar formation, has occurred dislocation healing, it is difficult to reset.
