I posted this in the ent forum, but no one
has replied :(
hopefully someone here can help me out
with this!
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. :)
