Nasal septal perforations are relatively common, affecting up to 0.9% of general population. From early reports, the main cause (66%) of septal perforation was iatrogenic in connection to septal surgery. When septal perforation occurs, it is wise to repair perforation immediately and to insert a connective tissue or acellular dermal graft. Alloderm, in particular, has gained popularity as an interpositional graft in septal perforation repair due to its availability and ease of use. we recently experienced a case of septal perforation caused by previous septoplasty in a 21-year-old-male patient. The nasal septal perforation was repaired with acellular human dermal graft Alloderm. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2014;25:61-65)
