title: Traumatology of the newborn's nose.
abstract: Three different types of nasal deformities are described in the newborn: 1. Fixed deviations caused by injury in the prenatal period, which are mainly selfcorrecting. 2. Deviations brought about during delivery, requiring repositioning, and 3. Deformities caused by pressure and moulding of the foetal head, which also require treatment. Methods for the detection of the last two groups are also described.
