pubmed:abstractText
Cocaine abuse is associated with serious systemic complications. Snorting cocaine can also cause complications of the nasopharyngeal structures. Repeated episodes of vasoconstriction and subsequent ischemia may cause this destruction. We present a patient with perforation of the nasal septum and palate and collapse of the nasal dorsum. The destroyed anatomy was reconstructed by using standard surgical techniques. Palatal destruction is a rare entity and, to our knowledge, this patient is the first reported patient with palatal destruction due to cocaine insufflation.
