Abstract

We present a previously undescribed site of a subperichondrial haematoma – the alar cartilage. Two children presenting acutely, following trauma, with the clinical appearance of a ‘blueberry’ within the nasal vestibule are described. We recommend early surgical drainage of this lesion, as delay in definitive treatment may give rise to a cosmetic deformity.
