Subperichondrial Hematoma of Alar Cartilage: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: Cartilage deformation may develop due to congenital and trauma-related hematomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to prevent aesthetic and functional complications related to alar cartilage hematomas.

CASE REPORT: An 8-year-old male presented with a major alar cartilage hematoma with a nasal fracture as a result of trauma. The patient underwent surgery on the 1st day of trauma for alar cartilage hematoma drainage and nasal bone reduction. No functional or cosmetic complications were observed in the patient's postoperative 1st month.

CONCLUSION: Subperichondral hematomas of the alar cartilage are rarely observed after nasal trauma and early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent possible complications.
