NASAL SEPTAL ABSCESS DIAGNOSED BY ULTRASOUND

The abscess was successfully drained, and viridans streptococci were identified as the cause. Follow-up showed resolution of the mass. Nasal septal abscesses, often due to trauma, can also arise from sinusitis or dental infections, and require prompt drainage and antibiotics to avoid serious complications.
