摘要
Deformities of nose can cause cosmetic and functional problems in newborns. Deviated nasal septum is one of them. A fullterm newborn was born with a deviated nasal septum which led to respiratory distress and feeding difficulty. It was managed conservatively by insertion of an endotracheal tube into the unobstructed nasal passage just up to the nasopharynx and the symptoms gradually resolved spontaneously as the baby grew. The tube was removed at 3 weeks of life. This approach may act as a novel approach to conservative management of deviated nasal septum in newborns. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
