Abstract
Gossypiboma is an uncommon postoperative complication, referring to inflammatory response caused by gauze or sponge left in the body after an operation, and its prevalence is reported to be 1/1,000-1/10,000. In the area of otorhinolaryngological surgery, there have been reports on inflammation caused by gauze left in the spaces around the neck and tonsils, but few case reports have been made based on imaging examinations such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The authors are going to report a recent case of a 22-year-old man with infection caused by intranasal packing material that was left after rhinoplasty and pushed into the space made by hump removal.
