A condition caused by yaws, in which growths form on either side of the nose.<\/p>\n
A condition following an infection with yaws in which the nasal processes of the upper jaw bone thicken to form two large bony swellings, about 7 cm in diameter, on either side of the nose. The swellings not only obstruct the nostrils but also interfere with the field of vision. Initial symptoms include persistent headache and a bloody purulent discharge from the nose. Early cases can be treated with injections of neoarsphenamine, otherwise surgical removal of the growths is necessary. Goundou occurs in central Africa and South America.<\/p>\n
