(A) Clinical photography of hard palate perforation and (B) Computed tomography image of midline facial destruction from a patient with cocaine-induced midline destructive lesion. The clinical manifestations of CIMDL are chronic nasal obstruction, hyposmia, nasal septum perforation, necrotizing ulcers, dysphagia, oro-nasal reflux, and facial pain [[2]].
