Abstract
The exact cause of this granuloma is not known, but imbedded free mucosal fragment or effused antibiotic ointment of packed gauze through the fracture site, which could cause a tissue reaction, is thought to be the cause of the granuloma. In order to prevent this rare complication, we recommend that aggressive practices and overpacking should be avoided during nasal bone reduction.
