Cocaine Nose

A constellation of findings in chronic intranasal—snorting—cocaine abusers
Surgical complications Localized septal collapse, poor mucosal healing, inadequate correction of septal deflection
Rhinoscopy From nothing to perforation
Treatment Rhinoplasty on highly selected patients—the results are often poor; submucosal resection and septoplasty should be avoided
