The objective of the study was to evaluate the demographic factors, trauma type, treatment, and long-term results in patients with nasal septal hematoma (NSH) and nasal septal abscess (NSA).
Between the years 2006 and 2010, subjects who received a diagnosis of NSA and NSH were included for the study. Demographic data, the surgical findings, and long term follow-up results were recorded.
Twenty-nine subjects were identified. Eleven subjects had a diagnosis of NSA, whereas 19 subjects were identified as having NSH. Eighteen subjects (62.1%) were male, whereas the remaining 11 subjects (38.9%) were female. Mean age of the subjects was 7.79 ± 3.99 years. The etiologies were fall in 26 subjects (89.6%) and blow in 3 subjects (10.4%). Four subjects were previously examined by a physician. In 9 subjects (31.1%), radiologic and clinical evidence of nasal fracture exists. Eighteen (72%) of 29 subjects experienced sequelae. No significant difference exists for clinical properties, demographic data, etiology, and so on, except mean duration; P > 0.05. Mean duration was significantly high in the NSA group than in the NSH group (8.40 ± 8.46 days vs 3.58 ± 3.64 days, P = 0.025).
This study demonstrated that both NSH and NSA have similar properties for demographic data, etiology, and sequelae.
本研究的目的是评估鼻中隔血肿(NSH)和鼻中隔脓肿(NSA)患者的人口统计学因素、创伤类型、治疗方法及长期结果。
纳入2006年至2010年间被诊断为NSA和NSH的受试者进行研究。记录人口统计学数据、手术结果及长期随访结果。
共确定29名受试者。11名受试者被诊断为NSA,19名受试者被诊断为NSH。18名受试者(62.1%)为男性,其余11名受试者(38.9%)为女性。受试者的平均年龄为7.79±3.99岁。病因包括26名受试者(89.6%)跌倒和3名受试者(10.4%)受撞击。4名受试者之前曾看过医生。29名受试者中有9名(31.1%)存在鼻骨骨折的影像学和临床证据。29名受试者中有18名(72%)出现后遗症。除平均病程外,临床特征、人口统计学数据、病因等方面无显著差异;P>0.05。NSA组的平均病程显著高于NSH组(8.40±8.46天对3.58±3.64天,P=0.025)。
本研究表明,NSH和NSA在人口统计学数据、病因和后遗症方面具有相似的特征。
