Introduction: Although the effects of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection in olfaction have been well established, there is relative paucity of information on possible other complications of COVID-19 in the nasal cavities and nasal function. Case report: We report the unique case of a young female patient, with a remote history of septoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery who developed severe nasal airway obstruction (NAO) and saddle nose deformity two to three weeks after her recovery from COVID-19. Conclusion: This case report illustrates a late septoplasty complication that may be associated with COVID-19. This unusual clinical presentation indicates that structural destabilization of the nose may ensue as a complication of the COVID-19, and requires further investigation of the SARS-CoV-2 effects in vascularity and wound healing in the nasal cavity. |
