title: [Birth injuries and congenital deviation of the nasal septum in the newborn infant].
abstract: Authors report an experience performed in a randomized group of newborns to evaluate the frequency of post-partum septal deviations. 349 subjects out of 1042 have been examined in a 7 months period. Newborns have been examined with an otoscope and 2 different kinds of nasal lesions have been considered: pyramid deformation with septum dislocation and columella deviation; deviation and sub-luxation of the septum. 250 newborns were born on natural delivery and 99 after Caesarean section. In the former group 8 pyramid deformation and 10 septal deviations have been found; in the latter only 4 septal deviations have been revealed.
