Deviated septum: A deviated septum is a common issue. It can be caused by trauma, position in utero and even during the birth process. If there are symptoms like nasal obstruction, snoring or recurrent sinusitis, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.

Certainly: The septum is comprised of several pieces of cartilage and bone. Each of these components can fracture and/or become displaced with a direct trauma, which could lead to a deviated septum.
