nasal septum problems
These may be caused by the way that the septum has grown or may be a result of nasal injury. Displacement and bends may occur together and block one or both sides of the nose. Deformities are corrected with septoplasty. Septoplasty may be part of a cosmetic operation called a septorhinoplasty to straighten a bent nose.
