Abstract

The septal perforation is a communication between both nostrils through a nasal septal defect. Most of these defects are asymptomatic, although some may present as crusty rhinitis, nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis or nasal wheeze. Its origin is predominantly iatrogenic or idiopathic; however it may have several etiologies. It’s fundamental to de­termine the cause of the septal perforation, in order to address the need for surgery and define the most appropriate surgical technique. We report 2 cases of septal perforations which were resolved with modified Fairbanks technique interposing tragal cartilage.
