ABSTRACT
Among the variety of local and systemic causative factors of nasal septal defects, the most frequent cause is the iatrogenic perforation found during septal surgery. We report a 10-year-old boy who showed a defect at the posteroinferior portion of the septum that appeared to coincide with the location of the vomer. He didn't have nasal surgery, any trauma, infectious disease or drug Abuse. These findings suggests that a developmental abnormality of the vomer taken place during the prenatal period may have resulted in a congenital defect of the vomer. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first case of a congenital defect of the vomer reported in Korea.
