Sumario:In this modern era, when access to healthcare services is improved, and awareness among the general population is enhanced, the presentation of mere septal abscess of the nose as a fatal complication is less common. Due to various lockdown restrictions in the COVID-19 scenario and fear to contract an infection, patients are presenting late to the health care setting for proper management. We treated an 11-year old child of complicated nasal septal abscess who responded well to aspiration of pus and medical treatment. Our patient is a rare case report who progressed from vestibulitis to septal abscess and further leading to sinusitis, orbital, and intracranial complications.
