Nasal septum perforation presents with the symptoms of epistaxis and crusting. Obturation of the defect will decrease the symptoms and increase patient comfort. Prosthetic closure is more predictable and thus the treatment of choice in larger defects. This article describes a procedure for construction of a magnet-retained, heat-processed acrylic nasal septum prosthesis. The two-piece nasal septum prosthesis was processed and joined together in situ by magnets. Each piece of the septum prosthesis conforms to the remaining medial wall of each nostril and forms the missing half of the nasal septum. The prosthesis not only alleviates symptoms, but also provides structural support to the saddle-shaped nose and improves esthetics.
鼻中隔穿孔的症状为鼻出血和结痂。填塞缺损可减轻症状并提高患者舒适度。假体修复术更具可预测性，因此是较大缺损的首选治疗方法。本文介绍了一种制作带磁体的热塑丙烯酸鼻中隔假体的方法。将两片鼻中隔假体通过磁体在原位进行加工和连接。鼻中隔假体的每一部分都与每个鼻腔的剩余内侧壁贴合，并形成鼻中隔的缺失部分。该假体不仅可以缓解症状，还为鞍鼻提供结构支撑，并改善美观。
