Abstract:
Objective: To compare the findings of ultrasonography
with that of conventional radiology in all the patients with
suspected nasal bone fracture.
Material and methods: Patients sustaining nasal trauma
presented to the emergency department and ENT-HNS OPD
of KMC were taken for this prospective study. Of the 81 cases
of suspected nasal bone fracture included, all of them were
clinically examined, then assessed with X-ray followed by
ultrasonography.
Results: The results revealed that there was significant
advantage of USG in diagnosing particularly trivial or subtle
nasal bone fracture in comparison to conventional radiology
of the nose.
Conclusion: USG is a steadfast and readily available method
for diagnosis of nasal bone fractures and thus can be used
as one of the investigation tools of choice in nasal fractures.
It is free from radiation hazard and can also be an adjunct
investigation tool for medico-legal purpose as printed
documentation is possible.
