Broken Nose

Broken Nose


Definition

A nose fracture is a break in the bone or cartilage over the bridge, in the sidewall, or septum (line dividing the nostrils) of the nose.

Symptoms

* Blood coming from the nose
* Bruising around the eyes
* Difficulty breathing through the nose
* Misshapen appearance (may not be obvious until swelling goes down)
* Pain
* Swelling

The bruised appearance usually disappears after 2 weeks.

The symptoms may be the same as those of a fractured nose.
