ABSTRACT
Nasal septal abscess is defined as a collection of pus between the cartilage or bony septum and overlying mucoperichondrium or mucoperiostium. In general, most septal abscess is associated with nasal truma, or occur as a post-operative complication. Atraumatic nasal septal abscess secondary to fungal sinusitis is an extremely rare occurance and those are commonly associated with poor immunity. Also abscess of the posterior nasal septum is extremely rare. Untreated posterior septal abscess, although unlikely to result in nasal deformity (the cartilaginous septum remaining unaffected), can result in intracranial complication. We present a case of a bilateral posterior nasal septal abscess with coexisting fungal sinusitis, in a healthy adult. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2013;24:265-269)
