Summary
Correcting nasal septum and pyramid deviations in children early prevents long-term aesthetic and functional issues. Surgical intervention, including septoplasty and rhinoplasty, is crucial for proper facial development.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Otolaryngology
- Rhinologic Surgery
Background:
- Untreated nasal septum and/or nasal pyramid deviation in children can lead to significant aesthetic or functional problems later in life.
- Early correction is recommended to ensure harmonious facial growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document the surgical outcomes for pediatric patients with nasal septum and/or nasal pyramid deviation.
- To evaluate the experience of a Pediatric Otolaryngology Service in treating these conditions.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of medical records for 202 children (ages 4-16) treated between 1994 and 2010.
- Procedures included septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and rhinoseptoplasty.
Main Results:
- Septoplasty was the most common procedure, performed in 77.7% of cases.
- Rhinoseptoplasty accounted for 11.4% and rhinoplasty for 10.9% of the surgeries.
Conclusions:
- Surgical correction of nasal deviations in children is essential for promoting balanced facial development.
- Addressing these issues can prevent severe sequelae, such as those seen in chronic mouth breathers.

699
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...
