Abstract
AbstractPartial avulsion of the middle turbinate is an unusual complication of nasotracheal intubation while minor nasal mucosal trauma is not uncommon. Nasal turbinate avulsion often presents with persistent epistaxis but in the case reported, unilateral nasal obstruction with minimal epistaxis was the presenting feature. Unilateral nasal obstruction following nasotracheal intubation should raise suspicion of significant disruption of the intranasal architecture.
