title: Nasofrontal abscess following rhinoplasty.
abstract: Infections are the most common objective complication following rhinoplasty. They may remain localized, extend intracranially, or result in generalized septicemia. The most common infections involve the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the nose. We report an uncommon case of nasofrontal abscess following a rhinoplasty that required aggressive surgical and medical treatment.
