Resumen

La necrosis mediofacial secundaria al abuso continuado de cocaína intranasal es una entidad de reciente descripción que se incluye dentro del diagnóstico de las lesiones que cursan con destrucción centrofacial como son la granulomatosis de Wegener, la reticulosis polimorfa o linfoma nasal, enfermedades infecciosas y el síndrome idiopático destructivo mediofacial. Aportamos el caso de un paciente varón de 40 años que presenta necrosis del tracto nasosinusal y una neuropatía óptica unilateral como complicaciones del abuso continuado de cocaína vía nasal durante más de 20 años así como una discusión acerca del diagnóstico diferencial.

Palabras clave:
Necrosis centrofacial
Abuso de cocaína
Abstract

Midfacial necrosis due to the abuse of inhaled cocaine is a new entity that is included in the diferential diagnosis of the midline destructive diseases such as Wegener’s granulomatosis, polymorphic reticulosis, nasal lymphoma, infections and the idiopathic midline destructive disease. We report the case of a forty-year-old male who presented necrosis of the nasosinusal tract and optic neuropathy as complications due to the abuse of inhaled cocaine for more than twenty years and a discussion about the diferential diagnosis.

Key words:
