Abstract

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.
