Amaç: Nazal septal deviasyon (NSD) paternleri genellikle şekle göre tanımlanır; ancak septorinoplasti hastalarında anatomik dağılımı ve semptomlarla ilişkisi yeterince ortaya konmamıştır. Bu çalışma (i) septal deviasyonun (SD) sıklığını, anatomik düzeylerini (yüksek, santral, taban, kaudal) ve morfolojik alt tiplerini belirlemeyi; (ii) semptomatik ve asemptomatik hastalar arasında bulguları karşılaştırmayı amaçladı.Yöntemler: Standartlaştırılmış rinoskopi/endoskopi verileri kullanılarak ardışık 378 septorinoplasti olgusu retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. NSD; lokalizasyona (yüksek, santral, taban, kaudal), kret/spur varlığına ve yeni hiyerarşik morfoloji sınıflamasına göre sınıflandırıldı: Tip I (lokalize; izole kret/spur veya kaudal dislokasyon), Tip II (septal tilt), Tip III [C-şekilli: IIIA izole anteroposterior (AP) -C, IIIB izole sefalokaudal (CC)-C, IIIC AP-C + kret/spur, IIID CC-C + kret/spur], Tip IV (S-şekilli: IVA izole AP-S, IVB izole CC-S, IVC AP-S + kret/spur, IVD CC-S + kret/spur).Bulgular: En sık santral SD görüldü (%81,2); bunu kaudal (%61,1), yüksek (%48,9) ve taban (%40,7) deviasyon izledi. Kaudal deviasyon (%74,3’e karşı %53,0; P

Aims: Nasal septal deviation (NSD) patterns are typically described by shape, but the anatomical distribution in septorhinoplasty patients—and its relation to symptoms—is not well established. This study aimed to (i) determine the frequency and anatomical levels (high, central, base, caudal) of SD and its morphological subtypes, and (ii) compare findings between symptomatic and asymptomatic patientsMethods: We retrospectively analyzed 378 consecutive septorhinoplasty cases using standardized rhinoscopic/endoscopic data. NSD was classified by localization (high, central, base, caudal), presence of crest/spur, and new hierarchical morphology: Type I (localized), Type II (septal tilt), Type III [C-shape; Anteroposterior (AP) / Cephalocaudal (CC); ±crest/spur], Type IV (S-shape; AP/CC; ±crest/spur).Result: Central SD was most common (81.2%), followed by caudal (61.1%), high (48.9%), and base (40.7%). Caudal deviation (74.3% vs 53.0%, P
