Daily Question
|
A septal hematoma can cause necrosis of the septal cartilage. How is the hematoma treated?
|
|
Answer
|
|
Make a vertical incision through the hematoma to drain it, place anterior packing, and put the patient on prophylactic antibiotics (such as penicillin). These patients should receive follow-up with an otolaryngologist or plastic surgeon.
