Rhinorrhea after rhinoplasty is a rare but disturbing complication. During rhinoplasty, trauma to the septum with elongation of a
fracture up to the cribriform plate may result
in an osteomeningeal breach in the floor of the anterior
cranial fossa. This complication can be treated conservatively, but surgical intervention is necessary in
the case of persistent cerebrospinal fluid leakage.1
A 45-year-old woman was referred to as having
problems of respiration by nasal airway and posterior
nasal leakage. Two nasal surgeries were noted for her
medical history. In her examination, there was a loss
of inner osteocartilaginous framework of the nose
and perforation in the anterior nasal septum. Computed tomography (CT) imaging obtained before tertiary operation showed the nasal septal perforation
and deviation.
