1 Homeopathy treatment for deviated nasal septum |Homeo doctor

• Generally, The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage in the nose that separates the nasal cavity into the two nostrils.
• Moreover, The cartilage is called the quadrangular cartilage and the bones comprising the septum include the maxillary crest, vomer and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid.
• Normally, the septum lies centrally, also thus the nasal passages are symmetrical.
• A deviated septum is an abnormal condition in which the top of the cartilaginous ridge leans to the left or the right, causing obstruction of the affected nasal passage. Besides this, The condition can result in poor drainage of the sinuses.
• People can also complain of difficulty breathing, headaches, bloody noses, or of sleeping disorders e.g. snoring or sleep apnea.
• All in all, It is common for nasal septa to depart from the exact centerline; the septum is only considered deviated if the shift is substantial or causes problems.

Many people with a deviation are unaware they have it until some pain is produced. By itself, a deviated septum can go undetected for years and thus be without any need for correction.

Trauma and errors of development form the two important factors in the causation of deviated septum.

[1] Trauma: such as by a blow to the face, during child birth.

[2] Developmental error:

[3] Racial factors. Specifically, Caucasians are affected more than black American.

[4] Hereditary factors. Several members of the same family may have deviated nasal septum.

[5] Congenital disorder

[6] Deviated septum is associated with genetic connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome, Homocystinuria and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.

For some people, a deviated septum is present at birth — occurring during fetal development or due to injury during childbirth.

After birth, a deviated septum is most commonly caused by an injury that moves your nasal septum out of place. Risk factors include:

• Playing contact sports
• Not wearing your seat belt while riding in a motorized vehicle 

1. Spurs: These are sharp angulations seen in the nasal septum occurring at the junction of the vomer below, with the septal cartilage and/or ethmoid bone above. This type of deformity is the result of vertical compression forces. Fractures that occur through nasal septum during injury to the nose may also produce sharp angulations. These fractures heal by fibrosis that extends to the adjacent mucoperichondrium. This increases the difficulty of flap elevation in this area.

2. Deviations: may be C shaped or S shaped. These can occur in either vertical or horizontal plane. It may also involve both cartilage and bone.

3. Dislocations: In this the lower border of the septal cartilages displaced from its medial position and projects into one of the nostrils.

Deviations may affect any of the three vertical components of the nose causing: cartilaginous deviations, C deviations and S deviation.

1. Cartilaginous deviations: In these patients the upper bony septum and the bony pyramid are central, but there is a dislocation/deviation of the cartilaginous septum and vault.

2. The C Deviation: Here there is displacement of the upper bony septum and the pyramid to one side and the whole of the cartilaginous septum and vault to the opposite side.

3.The S Deviation: Here the deviation of the middle third (the upper cartilaginous vault and associated septum) is opposite to that of the upper and lower thirds. With deviations of the nose, the dominant factor is the position of the nasal septum, hence the adage ‘as the septum goes, so goes the nose’. The first step, therefore in treating the twisted nose is to straighten the septum, and if this objective is not achieved, there is no hope of successfully straightening the external pyramid.

Deviation may involve only the cartilage, bone or both the cartilage and bone.

1. Firstly, Anterior dislocation. Septal cartilage may be dislocated into one of the nasal chambers. Additionally, This is better appreciated by looking at the base of nose when patient’s head is tilted backwards.
2. Secondly, C-shaped deformity. Moreover, Septum is deviated in a simple curve to one side. Nasal chamber on the concave side of the nasal septum will be wider and may show compensatory hypertrophy of turbinates.
3. Thirdly, S-shaped deformity. Either in vertical or anteroposterior plane. Such a deformity may cause bilateral nasal obstruction.
4. After that, A spur is a shelf-like projection often found at the junction of bone and cartilage. Besides this, A spur may press on the lateral wall and gives rise to headache. It may also predispose to repeated epistaxis from the vessels stretched on its convex surface.
5. Lastly, It may be due to organized haematoma or overriding of dislocated septal fragments.

Symptoms of a deviated septum i.e.

• Infections of the sinus
• Sleep apnea

• Snoring

• Repetitive sneezing
• Facial pain

• Headache

• Nosebleeds
• Mouth breathing
• Difficulty with breathing also mild to severe loss of the ability to smell.

Only more severe cases of a deviated septum will cause symptoms of difficulty breathing and require treatment.

1. A history of trauma to the nose is often present including trauma from the either process of birth or microfractures.
2. Physical examination .

• Hypertrophied turbinate
• Polyps 

• You may be able to prevent the injuries to your nose that can cause deviated septum with these precautions:
• Wear a helmet when playing contact sports, such as football and hockey
• Wear a seat belt when riding in a motorized vehicle 

• Recurrent sinusitis due to obstruction to drainage of sinus.
• Middle ear infection due to forcible blackening of nose or recurrent upper respiratory infection.
• Mouth breathing causing infection of pharynx, larynx, tracheobronchial tree.

• Asthma: DNS acts as trigger for bronchospasm.

• Atrophic rhinitis on the root side of nose.
