NARENDRAN B

Abstract


Post traumatic vestibular stenosis , a common cause of vestibular stenosis can be corrected by various   techniques , here we present a case of post traumatic nasal deformity with vestibular stenosis in 33 year old male   following road traffic accident 9 months ago, presenting with history of right sided nasal obstruction , continuous since injury , on examination scarring of right alar region with          depression and shortening of columella seen .
