Deviated Nasal Septum
The nasal septum is the wall that divides the nasal cavity into right and left sides. This wall is made up of cartilage and bone and is responsible for supporting respiratory mucosa and the external nose, as well as regulating airflow. Very few people have a perfectly straight nasal septum. Most are irregular in thickness and shape. Minor imperfections usually do not cause problems; however, more severe deformities can impair breathing or contribute to sinusitis. The treatment plan recommended by our physicians will depend on the severity of the problem. A deviated nasal septum is often the result of trauma. In most cases, people do not remember the cause of the trauma as the nose does not have to be broken for the septum to sustain injury.
