Abstract

Nasal abscesses are uncommon and typically associated with systemic conditions, trauma, or infections of adjacent structures. Isolated nasal abscesses, particularly involving the nasal floor, are exceedingly rare, with no prior documented cases in the English medical literature. This report presents the case of a 35-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed a nasal floor abscess without identifiable predisposing factors. She presented with localized swelling, pain, and pus discharge, which were managed successfully with incision and drainage and intravenous antibiotics. The patient recovered fully with no residual complications. This case highlights the importance of considering rare anatomical sites for abscess formation in the differential diagnosis of nasal swelling and underscores the value of prompt surgical intervention and appropriate antibiotic therapy in achieving favourable outcomes.
