Nasal septal mucoceles are a rare occurance, and reports in the current literature are limited. We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman who developed a nasal septal mucocele several days after an episode of angioedema. The lesion was treated with 2 rounds of needle aspiration with antibiotics and the application of silastic splints. There was no recurrence after 1 month, though the patient developed a saddle nose deformity. She ultimately underwent reconstruction with a diced-cartilage dorsal augmentation graft with fibrin glue. We review the learning points of this case and summarize existing literature on this disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
