About 75% adults have Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS). It was believed that most cases of DNS are due to birth moulding. But prevalence of deviated nasal septum in newborns were found to be different in different studies varying from <4% to 60%. This study was conducted at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram to find out the prevalence of DNS in new born babies and to find whether there is any significant association between DNS and birth moulding. 400 newborn babies were examined. The prevalence of DNS was found to be 44.3%. Association of DNS with mode of delivery, intrauterine position, parity and duration of second stage of labour were studied.

“…Other similar studies reported the incidence of septal deviation as 25% by Sookhnandan et al and 21.8% by Saim and Said. 6,7 However, some other studies found incidence of septal deviation less than 4%. 8,9 In the present study, incidence of septal deviation was seen more commonly in babies born to the primipara mothers (37.86%), those delivered with normal vaginal delivery (30.43%).…”

Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a common condition with various factors affecting its occurrence. The study was aimed to find the prevalence of DNS in newborns.Methods: The present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the SMGS hospital, GMC Jammu. A sample size of 200 newborns, less than 7 days of age were included in the study. 200 newborns in the postnatal wards were examined in the present cross-section observational study including the age ranging from 1 day to 5 days. Results: Prevalence of DNS in the present study was 29%. 103 babies were born to the primipara mothers out of which 39 (37.86%) had DNS while only 19 (19.58%) out of 97 babies born to the multipara mothers had the DNS. The newborns with higher birth weight had higher incidence of having DNS. 41.17% of the newborns with weight of >3 kg had DNS as compared to those in 2 to 2.5 kg group (17.28%) and <2 kg group (11.76%).Conclusions: DNS is a common finding since birth which may persist in later life. Routine examination of the newborns specifically regarding the nose should be done to detect the septal deviations at earliest so that active intervention can be done when required.

“…Incidence of deviated nasal septum in children varies in the literature between 2.9 4 and 25%. 5 Many causes were mentioned in the literature to cause septal deviation in children, trauma being the chief among them. In cases where postpartum trauma is not in evidence, the appearance of septal deformities must come from other sources suggested, these being either congenital etiology or trauma, either during intrauterine life or during transit in the birth canal.…”

Objective: To establish whether septal deviation in infants with no previous trauma history is associated with the mode of their delivery.Materials and methods: Records of patients treated for a deviated nasal septum from March 2003 to October 2014 were reviewed; those with previous facial trauma were excluded. Information retrieved included basic demographic data, mode of delivery, sibling birthing order, type and date of surgery, and postoperational outcomes.Results: A total of 130 records were recovered. Comparison between normal delivery and cesarean section groups found no statistical significance (63 vs 67; p-value > 0.05). Conclusion:The mode of delivery, in uncomplicated cases, is not a cause of septal deviation.
