Deviated Septum Questions
Posted: 04-03-06 21:44pm

I had signifigant head trauma from a horse running into my face 2mos ago that I obtained a concussion, and spinal injury from. I was hit in the nose/forehead/right eye area. My nose had alot of swelling and I had black eyes, I had an xray at a walk in clinic the day of that they said showed what was probably a fracture,but as it's workers compensation I didn't get a facial ct scan until 3wks after it didn't show a fracture, however I was told that I have a deviated septum. I know I didn't have one 2 years ago when I had my nose checked out from a previous injury. Since this last trauma i've had trouble breathing out the right side of my nose, there's a bump on the bridge of my nose on the right side, I sneezed the other day and it felt like I had been whacked in the nose, and basically my nose just feels weird.

My questions are:

is it possible to get a deviated septum from blunt trauma with out breaking your nose?

Also, would a ct scan 3wks after the date of the incident show a even show a fracture?


I would greatly appreciate any type of input, thanks. :)

I had a severly deviated septum and never broke my nose, so yes it is possible to have it deviate without a break. There are times growing up I remember being roughed around during basketball which may have caused it, but I don't know. I had septoplasty last month to straighten the septum. Good luck!

Nevermind I just found out that my nose was fractured. Stupid centra care.. Funny how they didn't call me and let me know when they got the report from the 2nd set of xrays.
