Nasal septal mucosal erosion may be related to deviated nasal septum, nasal septum perforation, nasal lymphoma and other diseases, which need to be treated according to the cause and the characteristics of the disease, choosing a combination of surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments. Better results can often be achieved through regular treatments targeting the cause of the disease.
1. Deviated nasal septum: the bone and cartilage of nasal septum are deviated, and the mucous membrane of the convex surface, bone spine or the tip of bone ridge at the place of deviation is thin, and it is easy to occur mucous membrane erosion when stimulated by airflow and dust. Local use of compound menthol nasal drip, saline rinse to keep the nasal cavity moist. Nasal septum correction surgery, nasal septum submucosal resection treatment.
2. Nasal septum perforation: Infection, physical and chemical stimulation and tumor invasion and compression can lead to nasal septum perforation, which can be seen in the examination, with scabs at the perforation and erosion at the edge of the perforation. According to the degree of disease, we can choose septum mucoperiosteal reduction suture, mucoperiosteal flap or mucoperiosteal flap transfer suture, free tissue sheet transplantation, silicone rubber sheet placement and other treatments.
3. Nasal lymphoma: it is a special type of extranodal lymphoma occurring in the nose, which can be divided into T-cell, B-cell and NK-cell lymphoma. It can be seen that the mucous membrane of inferior turbinate or nasal septum is swollen, eroded, ulcerated or granulomatous hyperplasia, and the surface is gray and necrotic. A combination of chemotherapy and radiation treatment modalities may be chosen.
When the discovery of nasal septum mucous membrane erosion, need to actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions standardized treatment.
