Abstract EN
Introduction : Septorhinoplasty is a common performed surgery.
Late complications of septorhinoplasty are uncommon but may be serious and difficult to manage.
Nasal septal mucous cyst is a rare post-operative complication.
Objectives : We aim for discussing the etiological theories and suggesting strategies to prevent this complication.
Case report : We report a case of septal nasal cyst developed 15 years after a closed septorhinoplasty procedure.
It was a 68-year old man presenting with a chronic progressive headache with intermittent rhinorrhea.
Rhinologic examination revealed a prominent bulge in the posterosuperior wall of bilateral nasal fossa.
CT scan and MRI helped make the diagnosis of a sinonasal mucous cyst.
Complete removal of this formation was performed using an intranasal endoscopic surgery.
Conclusion : It seems that the proliferation of entrapped fragments of epithelial tissue is the cause of this phenomenon.
To avoid such a complication, procedures of septorhinoplasty should be performed appropriately and mucosal lining should be kept intact.
