BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to review the imaging findings of nasal septal abscess in 2 patients with immunosuppression.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Two patients with immunosuppression were identified as having a nasal septal abscess, and correlative CT imaging in both patients was evaluated.
RESULTS
The characteristic radiographic appearance of a nasal septal abscess included a fluid collection with thin rim enhancement, located within the cartilaginous nasal septum. After CT examination, incision and drainage was performed in both patients, and appropriate antibiotic coverage was initiated. Clinical and imaging follow-up demonstrated no signs of residual infection.
CONCLUSION
Nasal septal abscess has a characteristic appearance on CT examination. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, including incision and drainage and appropriate antibiotic coverage, are necessary to avoid serious complications.
背景与目的
本研究旨在回顾2例免疫抑制患者鼻中隔脓肿的影像学表现。
材料与方法
确定2例免疫抑制患者患有鼻中隔脓肿，并对2例患者的相关CT影像进行评估。
结果
鼻中隔脓肿的典型影像学表现为软骨性鼻中隔内的液性聚集伴薄边缘强化。CT检查后，2例患者均行切开引流，并开始适当的抗生素治疗。临床及影像学随访显示无残余感染迹象。
结论
鼻中隔脓肿在CT检查中有特征性表现。为避免严重并发症，需及时诊断并治疗，包括切开引流及适当的抗生素治疗。
