Nasal fractures are amongst the most commonly encountered facial injuries befalling across a broad spectrum of age groups. Failure to or improper treatment can lead to persistent deformities like airway obstruction and visual nasal deformities that are consequently more difficult to correct. Managing post traumatic deformities require expertise in complex septo-rhinoplasty procedures using trans-nasal or extra-oral incisions usually performed by trained Plastic or ENT surgeons. In this case report, we propose an intraoral approach to provide adequate exposure of all nasal components for performing the procedure with greater ease and reliability by maxillofacial surgeons who are trained in orthognathic procedures.
