In 1998–2005 in Department of Otolaryngology Children’s Hospital in Warsaw 2500 children after nasal injury were examined. Nasal septal hematoma and abscess were diagnosed in 22 (0,9%). They were reviewed retrospectively and some of them were examined 1–8 years after. Results. In 22 children with nasal septal hematoma and abscess no complication were observed during treatment. In 12 children examined 1–8 year after treatment 1 child developed saddle nose deformity (qualified to observation) and 1 child developed nasal septum deformities with nasal obstruction (qualified to septoplasty).
