Septal Hematoma
It is usually detected after a blow or injury to the nose when blood accumulates within the nasal septum. A septal hematoma is a collection of blood between the septal cartilage and its covering, which must be addressed promptly.
How it presents: You may notice nasal congestion that does not let up, pain, difficulty breathing through the nose, and a visible swelling inside the nostrils after trauma.
Why address it promptly: If it is not evaluated in time, it can compromise the cartilage and the structure of the nose, which is why it is important not to postpone the review.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can perform the initial evaluation and, if necessary, refer to the otolaryngologist; in the face of a nasal injury with persistent obstruction, the advisable thing is to seek care without delay.
