Abstract

A deviated septum is a condition in which the nasal septum, the bone and cartilage that divide the nasal cavity of the nose in half is significantly off centre, or crooked, making it hard to breathe. Most people have some sort of imbalance in the size of their breathing passages. In fact, it is estimated that 80% of people, most unknowingly, have some sort of misalignment of their nasal septum. Only the more severe imbalances cause significant breathing problems and require treatment. Most septal displacements result in no symptoms, and one may not even notice that they have a deviated septum. Some septal deformities, however, may cause the signs and symptoms like Obstruction of one or both nostrils. Nosebleeds. Facial pain. Noisy breathing during sleep. Awareness of the nasal cycle. Preference for sleeping on a particular side
