Septal deviation in neonates.
Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is believed to occur in neonates following the trauma of birth processes. The present prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship of intrauterine and parturition processes with neonatal septal dislocations. The neonates were subjected to a series of tests to assess presence and extent of deviated septum within the first 48 hours. A statistically significant correlation was demonstrable between the incidences of septal deviations with intra uterine fetal positions and mode of delivery.
