To estimate the prevalence of neonatal nasal septal deviation and to identify the precipitating factors. 250 neonates were examined on the 2nd day using Gray's struts for the presence of deviated nasal septum. Struts passing up to the 4 cm mark was taken to be normal, while struts getting stuck before the 4 cm mark was diagnosed to have deviated septum on that particular side. Out of 250 neonates, 49 had nasal septal deviation. There was significantly higher number of deviations in neonates of primiparas, emergency LSCS and in high birth weight babies. Neonatal septal deviation is quite common, being present in approximately 20% of all newborns. Greater amount of birth trauma increases its incidence further.
评估新生儿鼻中隔偏曲的患病率并确定诱发因素。在出生第2天，使用格雷氏支撑物对250名新生儿进行鼻中隔偏曲检查。支撑物能通过至4厘米标记处被视为正常，而支撑物在4厘米标记之前受阻则被诊断为该侧鼻中隔偏曲。在250名新生儿中，49名有鼻中隔偏曲。初产妇的新生儿、急诊剖宫产出生的新生儿以及高体重儿的鼻中隔偏曲数量明显更多。新生儿鼻中隔偏曲相当常见，约占所有新生儿的20%。更大程度的出生创伤会进一步增加其发生率。
