Abstract

Objectives: To determine the incidence of septum deviation and dislocation in newborns and to inves- tigate relationships between these pathologies and maternal causes and the mode of delivery.Patients and Methods: The study included 195 moth- ers and 200 newborns, of which 10 were twins. Vaginal and cesarean deliveries were performed in 147 73.5% and 53 26.5% newborns, respectively. AH newborns were examined with the use of anterior rhinoscopy. The nasal pyramid, columella, and septum were assessed to detect septal deviation or dislocation.Results: Twenty-three cases 15.6% of vaginal delivery had septal deviation, while five 3.4% had septal dislocation. İn the newborns delivered by cesarean section, eight 15.1% had septal devia­ tion, but none had dislocation. Significant correla- tions were noted between pregnancy, delivery peri- od, the way of delivery and the incidence of septal deviation and columella dislocation p<0.05 . There was a significant correlation between head circum- ference and columella dislocation p<0.05 .Conclusion: Since early reconstruction of the potential pathologies maybe problem-solving, a careful rhinologic examination should be carried out in the newborns who have prolonged delivery, increased head circumference, and vaginal delivery.

Yenidoğanlarda septum deviasyonu

Abstract

Amaç: Yenidoğanlarda septum deviasyonu ve dislokasyonunun sıklığını ortaya koymak, bu patolojilerindoğum flekline ve anneye bağlı nedenlerini arafltırmak. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalıflmaya 195 anne ve10’u ikiz olmak üzere toplam 200 yenidoğan alındı.Yenidoğanların 147’si %73.5 normal doğum, 53’ü %26.5 sezaryen ile doğdu. Yenidoğanların muayeneleri anterior rinoskopi ile yapıldı. Nazal piramit, kolumella ve septum değerlendirildi, septal deviasyonve dislokasyonlar belirlendi.Bulgular: Normal yolla doğan 147 bebeğin 23’ünde %15.6 septum deviasyonu, beflinde %3.4 septumdislokasyonu saptandı. Sezaryen ile doğan 53 yenidoğanın sekizinde %15.1 septum deviasyonu görüldü, hiçbirinde dislokasyon görülmedi. Gebelik süresi, travay süresi ve doğum flekli ile septum deviasyonu ve kolumella dislokasyonu arasında anlamlı birkorelasyon vardı p
