title: [The injured nose of the newborn. A review (author's transl)].
abstract: In the newborn the following traumatic alterations of the nose can be seen: lesions of the soft tissues, flat noses (30--60%), damage by tubes, fixed nasal deformities (0.5%), treatable anterior septal dislocations (2--23%), and combined septal deformities (up to 50%). The literature of the last 100 years is reviewed as to the high frequency of these alterations, their etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, which is necessary within the first days of life. Therefore routine examination of each newborn by an oto-rhino-laryngologist is recommended.
