Yes: Septal perforations typically result from trauma, prior surgery, intranasal drug use including Cocaine or for unknown reasons. This can be treated with observation, placement of a small flexible silicone "plug" or surgery. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
