Crooked nasal septum

Crooked nasal septum It may hinder normal breathing through the nose, as well as the cleansing and warming of inhaled air. If it is deviated, the bony-cartilaginous plate of the septum runs obliquely or takes on an S-shape, which may lead to narrowing of the nasal passage and nasal congestion. Restricted airflow can cause a blocked nose, breathing difficulties and problems with the drainage of secretions.

The most effective method of treating a deviated nasal septum is septoplasty, i.e. a procedure aimed at correcting its abnormal position and restoring proper nasal patency. The procedure may result in improved nasal breathing and better respiratory function.
