Abstract

The potential social and economic harm caused by cocaine addiction is well known. The wider health risks and potential nasal complications of septal perforation and nasal collapse are also recognised. We report a case of oro-nasal fistula secondary to cocaine misuse and discuss the aetiology, management and potential methods of repair.
