Septal deviation was causal in 32, mid-septum in 24 and posterior septum in 18 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean pre-operatively NOSE value was 56.4 and post-operatively was 28.2. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Deviated nasal septum is common among population.
