ABSTRACT

Nasal packing is common procedure in the rhinologic service for nasal bleeding and postoperative hemostasis. However, pyogenic granuloma complicated from nasal packing has rarely been reported in the literature. A case of a giant pyogenic granuloma of the inferior turbinate secondary to nasal packing is presented and its removal via an endoscopic approach is detailed. The nasal endoscope provided excellent visualization and operative control during excision, obviating the need for a lateral rhinotomy. Furthermore, to prevent complications and decrease the discomfort, we strongly recommended the use of non-traumatic materials for nasal packing. Rhinologist should be aware of this disease entity when encountered with patients presenting with nasal obstruction after a history of nasal packing. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2001;12:254-257)
