The current issue of ENT Journal reports only the second known case of a nostril being glued shut by “Super Glue”. A nine year old boy suffered the deliberate application of cyanoacrylate during a fight. When he rubbed his nose, his nostrils stuck together. The full article by James Sira, MBChB, Sandeep Uppal, FRCS (ORL-HNS), and Atilla Dezso, FRCS (ORL-HNS) with photos can be read by going to http://www.entjournal.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications::Article&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=2676D39EDD5E453A9B9B083CBC99FFEF
Super Glue accidents have been more common in the eyes and ears, thought to be due to the similarity of the tube to eye drop and ear drop tubes. It any event, keep these items away from young children, and keep your children away from the mean spirited child who put the glue in this child’s nose.
