Abstract

A 23-year-old male patient presenting with worsening nasal symptoms, including a feeling of bilateral nasal obstruction, blood-stained nasal discharge and whistling noise during breathing. He gave a history of cocaine sniffing. Nasal endoscopy revealed a large septal perforation and remodeling of the other structures of the nasal cavity. He was advised to discontinue cocaine use, started on nasal douching and nasal ointments, and was listed for a septal button insertion.
