Abstract

Degloving injuries of the external nose are severe soft tissue avulsions requiring meticulous repair to prevent airway embarrassment and to provide the best aesthetic result. Usually the underlying nasal scaffolding remains intact, but associated facial fractures or other facial injuries are common and must not be overlooked. Two representative cases are reported to provide an overview of the salient features in the pathogenesis of injury and to reiterate the proper approach for treatment.
