Cocaine has always been known to adversely affect the nose, often resulting in perforations of the nasal septum. However, over the last couple of decades, patients with known cocaine abuse have presented with severe nasal deformities and associated tissue loss affecting the nose, face and palate. This is now recognised as a drug-induced vasculitis that has several characteristics and similarities to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). The condition was initially sporadic but is becoming much more common. The attached guidelines, jointly written by BRS, BSFPS and ENT UK, offer information to ENT surgeons and other interested healthcare professionals who are unfamiliar with the condition but also offer some guidance on terminology and clinical management.
