title: Infective complications of brief nasotracheal intubation.
abstract: Two cases are described where infective complications, namely nasal septal abscess and parapharyngeal abscess, occurred after short-term (less than one hour) nasotracheal intubation. These conditions are serious as they can be life-threatening and in one case led to permanent physical disfigurement.
