Pilonidal sinus involving the nasal bridge: a rare manifestation

BMJ Case Rep. 2015 Jul 6:2015:bcr2015209948. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2015-209948.

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus is very commonly associated with the sacrococcygeal area, but its presence within the head and neck is still unknown to many. Once diagnosed, it is easy to treat and should, therefore, be kept in mind as a possibility when coming across a discharging sinus swelling. We share our experience of two cases of pilonidal sinus presenting over the nasal bridge and their management.
