Abstract
The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence and identify the precipitating factors of neonatal nasal septal deviations. A deviated nasal septum was observed in 125 neonates using Gray's struts on the 2nd day. As long as the strut passes up to the 4 cm mark, it is considered normal. If the strut gets stuck before the 4 cm mark, it is diagnosed as having a deviated septum. The nasal septums of 25 of the 125 neonates were deviated. High birth weight, primiparas and emergency LSCS neonates had significantly higher deviations. It is estimated that 20 percent of newborns have a septal deviation at birth. The incidence of this condition is further increased by the amount of birth trauma
