Newborn nasal septal deviation (DNS) affects 14.5% of infants. High-birth weight, vaginal delivery, and breech presentation are risk factors, necessitating early screening for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Otolaryngology
- Neonatology
Background:
- Nasal septal deviation (DNS) in newborns can lead to complications.
- Understanding risk factors is crucial for early detection and management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence of DNS in newborns.
- To identify associated risk factors for DNS in neonates.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study of 200 neonates (0-4 days old).
- Clinical examination, rhinometry, struts, and cotton wool application for diagnosis.
- Assessment of factors including birth weight, delivery mode, labor duration, and intrauterine position.
Main Results:
- Incidence of DNS was 14.5% (29 cases).
- Risk factors identified: high birth weight, vaginal delivery (55%), primiparous mothers, breech presentation (45%), and prolonged labor.
- Deformity may originate during the gestational period.
Conclusions:
- Early detection of DNS in neonates is vital for management and prevention of adult complications.
- Routine screening and early correction are advocated to reduce morbidity.
