Abstract
Septum is the most important anatomical and functional structure of nose. Thus, any kind of damage to septum can cause serious structural deformity of nose. Although nasal trauma at childhood hood is seen frequently, septal heamatoma and abscess formation is very rare. Septal heamatoma and abscess cause serious nasal and systemic complications in children. We presented a 6 years-old boy with the complaining of difficulty in nasal breathing and diagnosed as septal abscess five days after a nasal trauma.

Abstract
Nazal septum, burnun en önemli anatomik ve fonksiyonel yapısını oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle septumun herhangi bir nedenle hasarı burnun yapısını ciddi anlamda bozabilmektedir. Nazal travma çocukluk çağında sık görülmekle birlikte sonrasında gelişen hematom ve apse formasyonu oldukça nadirdir. Septal hematom ve apse özellikle çocukluk çağında nazal ve sistemik komplikasyonlara yol açabilmektedir. Biz burun travması sonrası 5. günde burundan nefes alamama şikâyetiyle başvuran ve septal apse teşhisi konulan 6 yaşında bir erkek çocuğunu sunduk.
