Nasal Fractures
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Nasal fractures are breaks in the bone or cartilage that form the structure of the nose, generally caused by a direct blow to the face.
Common causes: They usually occur after falls, sports accidents, collisions, or assaults, since the nose is one of the most exposed areas of the face.
Common symptoms:
- Pain and swelling in the nose and around the eyes
- Nosebleed
- Visible deformity or difficulty breathing through the nose
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional suited to examine the injury, assess whether it affects the septum, and provide guidance on the next steps. With a facial trauma involving persistent pain, deformity, or trouble breathing, the most prudent course is to seek a timely medical evaluation.
