일측성 회전피판 및 비중격연골-대퇴근막 복합조직 이식에 의해 재건한 비중격 천공 증례

A 20-year-old male patient suffered from persistent nasal stuffiness and frequent epistaxis after prolonged use of intranasal corticosteroid for his allergic rhinitis. On physical examination, we observed a 1.5 cm sized septal perforation on the anterior portion of the nasal septum. Using inferior-based mucosal rotation flap for the left side and placing cartilage-Fascia lata composite graft between both sides of perforated septal mucosa, we repaired his septal perforation. After 6 months of the surgery, the perforation was completely healed. He has not suffered from any nasal osbtruction or epistaxis. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2014;25:247-250)
