Abstract
Nasal septal deviation occurs at all ages. It occurs mostly during childhood due to trauma. It is also seen at birth and during early childhood. Hence awareness of this disorder among the pediatricians, the otolaryngologists, and the obstetricians is important, as it can be detected at the earliest possible and thus can be prevented.
