Nasoseptal Deformity
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A nasoseptal deformity is an alteration in the shape of the nose and the nasal septum, the internal structure that separates the two nasal passages. It can be congenital in origin or appear after a blow or injury to the face.
Usual manifestations: it is usually noticed as difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, persistent congestion, snoring, or a visible asymmetry of the bridge of the nose.
When is it worth getting it checked? If nasal breathing is continually limited, there are repeated episodes of sinusitis, or the appearance of the nose changed after an injury, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Who treats it? The evaluation of a nasoseptal deformity is handled by the otolaryngologist, who assesses both breathing function and nasal structure. Scheduling an appointment is the way to understand the options for each case.
