Nasal septum perforation is an uncommon and not well known feature of lupus erythematosus (LE). In general, it occurs during exacerbations and in a context of systemic vasculitis. Very rarely it can be a presenting sign, accompanying more usual manifestations of LE. We report the case of A 47-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus who consulted for respiratory difficulties and for whom a clinical examination plus a ct scan was performed, showing a perforation of the nasal septum.
