title: Nasal deformity in neonates and young children.
abstract: Pediatric nasal deformities comprise a broad range of congenital and acquired pathologies. The congenital deformities are rare and often require specific surgical interventions. The acquired deformities are more common, and in the majority of cases surgical intervention is not necessary. The decision to operate is based primarily on the extent of the functional impairment and the severity of the aesthetic deformity.
