Abstract

A young amateur boxer was brought to the emergency department after sustaining a nasal fracture. He reported a self-limiting episode of epistaxis, pain and change of the shape of his nose, although the oedema had started to increase. An ABCDE approach, according to ATLS principles, was adopted by the Emergency Doctor. Anterior rhinoscopy excluded septal haematoma and active bleeding. After discussion with the on-call ENT team, he was discharged with advice and plan for admission and manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) after a week.
