ABSTRACT
Nasal septal perforation is a full-thickness defect of the nasal septum. There are many described etiologies of nasal septal perforation, including trauma, infectious, neoplastic, iatrogenic, and autoimmune. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after an allogenic transplant. GVHD can result in the development of autoantibodies that lead to granulomatous inflammation with necrotizing vasculitis, causing perforation of the nasal septum. In this report, we describe a patient with nasal septal perforation secondary to GVHD and hope to provide novel insights into the association of GVHD and nasal septal perforation.
