AbstractNasal septal abscess is defined as a collection of pus between the cartilage or the bony septum and the overlying mucoperichondrium or mucoperiostium. Appropriate management of a nasal septal abscess requires prompt diagnosis, adequate surgical drainage, and parenteral administration of antibiotics. This can prevent the potentially dangerous spread of infection and development of severe functional and cosmetic sequelae. Incidence of nasal septal abscess is rare, and most reports involve adults who had experienced nasal trauma. Herein, we report a case of nasal septal abscess caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a healthy immunocompetent child.Copyright © 2012. Published by Elsevier B.V.
