Pain, rhinorrhea, and fever occurred in 50%, 35%, and 25% of patients, respectively. Nasal fracture was present in 3 children. Abscess was found at surgery in 12 patients and was universally associated with septal cartilage destruction. Hematoma was present in 8 patients and associated with cartilage destr...Continue Reading
