Authors report an experiment performed in a randomized group of newborns to evaluate the frequency of post-partum septal deviations. A number of 423 subjects out of 1142 have been examined in a 17-month period. Newborns have been examined with an otoscope and two different kinds of nasal lesions have been considered: (1) pyramid deformation with septum dislocation and columella deviation; (2) deviation and subluxation of the septum. A number of 315 newborns were naturally delivered and 108 by cesarean section. In the former group, 10 pyramid deformations and 12 septal deviations have been found; in the latter, only septal deviations have been revealed (5 infants). Pyramid deformations may be related to delivery(labor)trauma while for septal deviations a developmental defect may be postulated.
作者报告了一项在随机分组的新生儿中进行的实验，以评估产后鼻中隔偏曲的发生率。在17个月的时间里，对1142名受试者中的423名进行了检查。使用耳镜对新生儿进行检查，并考虑了两种不同类型的鼻部病变：（1）伴有鼻中隔脱位和小柱偏曲的锥体变形；（2）鼻中隔偏曲和半脱位。315名新生儿为自然分娩，108名通过剖宫产。在前一组中，发现了10例锥体变形和12例鼻中隔偏曲；在后一组中，仅发现了鼻中隔偏曲（5名婴儿）。锥体变形可能与分娩（产程）创伤有关，而对于鼻中隔偏曲，可以假定为发育缺陷。
