Hematoma septal - Treatment

Tratamiento:

El médico drenará inmediatamente la sangre, haciendo una pequeña incisión en el revestimiento sobre el hematoma. Una vez que la sangre se extrae, se coloca gasa o algodón dentro de la nariz.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

Si esta lesión se trata de manera oportuna, se puede esperar la curación completa.

Complicaciones:

Si el hematoma ha estado presente durante algún tiempo, puede infectarse y doler. Asimismo, se puede desarrollar un absceso del tabique y fiebre.

Un hematoma septal sin tratamiento puede llevar a un agujero en el área que separa las dos fosas nasales. Esto puede causar congestión nasal o colapso del área, provocando una deformidad estética llamada nariz en silla de montar.

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Cualquier lesión de la nariz que ocasione congestión nasal o dolor puede convertirse en un hematoma septal. La persona debe consultar con el médico, quien la remitirá donde un otorrinolaringólogo. El tratamiento por parte de este tipo de especialista puede hacerse en un consultorio médico.
