Common "Nasal Bone Fracture" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Nasal Bone Fracture

Nasal bone fractures are common facial fractures that account for 45% of all facial fractures. It usually results from a blow to the face during altercations, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and sports injuries. A nasal bone fracture has symptoms like bruising, swelling, and bleeding from the nose. If the nasal injury is major, it may damage the cartilage and cause blood collection inside the nose, difficulty breathing out of the nostrils, and deformity of the nose. Minor nasal bone fractures do not require treatment, while major nasal bone fractures require manual realignment of the nose or surgery.
