Percentage of newborns with detion of nasal septum:
The nasal septum is made of cailage, and divides the nose into two separate chambers.A deted septum is an abnormal configuration of the cailage that divides the two sides of the nasal cavity, which may cause problems with proper breathing or nasal discharge.Estimates are that 80 percent of all nasal septums are off center. A deted septum is when the septum is severely shifted away from the midline.
