[Problems of otorhinolaryngologists in perinatology (author's transl)]

Some of demonstrable pathological changes which are already present during the perinatal period are described in this work. Since nasal septal deviations due to trauma at birth can be straightened out immediately and often no special set of instruments are required, the importance of routine E-N-T-examinations is stressed. Such otorhinolaryngologic examinations were performed by the author in 1030 nearly born babys. Out of this number 19 birth traumatic nasal septal deviations were corrected without surgery.
