N2 - Studies indicate that cocaine abuse in Denmark is rising. The drug can damage the midface's nasal tissues, cartilage, and bone. Diagnosing the cocaine-induced midline destructive lesions condition is difficult as patients may not admit to drug use. Thus, this review finds that physicians should ask about cocaine abuse in younger patients who present with midline destructions of unknown origin. Mild symptoms are reversible with total abstinence, which is why it is important to involve addiction services early. Besides drug abstinence, comprehensive treatment involves assistance from GPs, physiatrists, rhinologists, and plastic surgeons.
