A Patient Presentation of Large Septal Perforation Repair Using Inferior Based Contra-Lateral Nasal Floor Flap, a New Surgical Technique for Large Septal Perforation

Abstract

presence for 34% of clostridium brain abscesses. 3 Thus, broadspectrum antibiotic coverage is indicated early on until receipt of bacterial culture results, and microbial sensitivity tests becomes available.This study suffers from the limitation of any case report. Although the presence of intracranial air due to C. perfringens is exceedingly rare, awareness of gas-forming organisms in posttraumatic pneumocephalus is important, as emergency intervention is required to prevent death. CONCLUSIONSThis report emphasizes the rarity of gas-producing intracranial infections. Thorough wound inspection sounds trivial, but it is fundamental in order to not miss any foreign bodies. The presence of posttraumatic pneumocephalus should raise the awareness of gas-forming organisms, as outcome can be fatal.
