Abstract
The vomeronasal organ is a special sensory organ that exists in both animals and humans.
It is located on the sides of nasal septum and although it involutes with age, occasionally
it may be seen in humans. We present the imaging findings in a child with an enlarged
nasal septum whose features we believe are compatible with a vomeronasal organ.
