An unusual dental cause of nasal discharge: a case report.
A case is reported of an unusual cause of localized nasal discharge. A 6-year-old girl presented complaining of pain and discharge from the left nostril. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed the cause of the symptoms to be a previously asymptomatic intruded primary incisor on the floor of the nasal cavity. The tooth was removed under general anaesthesia and healing occurred without complication.
