Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Nasal trauma is the most common injury of all types of facial trauma in Vietnam and other countries around the world. Early intervention helps most cases recover and avoid complications. Objective: To determine the clinical, paraclinical features and to evaluate the treatment results of nasal trauma at Can Tho Central General Hospital. Material and methods: 60 patients were diagnosed with nasal trauma and were treated by closed reduction and open reduction at Can Tho Central General Hospital from February 2019 to January 2021. The method was a descriptive and prospective study with clinical intervention. Results: 60 patients (49 men, 11 women, mean age 29.8) with nasal trauma were involved in the study. The most common symptoms were epistaxis, pain, nasal obstruction, accounting for 93.3%, 90%, and 86.7%, respectively. The most common sign was bleeding or blood pooling in the anterior nasal passage with 95%. Regarding the paraclinical features: On computed tomography of the nose and sinuses, type FI accounts for the highest rate: 35%. Treatment results: After one week and two weeks, treatment results were primarily average and good, with a total of 98.3%. Conclusion: Closed reduction is still the method used mainly in cases of nasal trauma.
