Unusual Presentation of Spontaneous Bilateral Nasal Septal Abscess: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract Spontaneous nasal septal abscess (NSA) is a relatively uncommon medical condition associated with a heightened risk of severe complications and unfavorable outcomes. Despite only a limited number of the reported cases involving immunocompetent individuals, we present a unique instance involving a 34-year-old healthy male. Following diagnosis, the patient received prompt treatment resulting in excellent outcomes during subsequent follow-ups. Our case report includes a comprehensive analysis of published cases in the literature pertaining to spontaneous nasal septal hematoma and abscess. It is noteworthy that even individuals without preexisting risk factors or a history of trauma can develop a spontaneous NSA or hematoma. Recognizing the condition early and intervening promptly are crucial factors in mitigating potentially serious risks associated with this condition.
