Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory reaction of the bone to infection which causes bone destruction. Skull-based osteomyelitis which is a true bony infection, originates from a chronic inadequately treated infection. Treatment of osteomyelitis in head and neck bones is complex due to the nature of the bones, complex anatomy of the region and aesthetics. We report a case of isolated nasal bone osteomyelitis presented with a sinus over the dorsum of nose. Excision of the sinus and debridement of osteomyelitic nasal bone followed by Glabellar advancement flap to the nose was done. Key words: Osteomyelitis, Nasal bone, Glabellar advancement flap
