Abstract
The nasal septum is composed of a perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone, quadrilateral septal cartilage, membraneous septum, crest of palatine and maxillary bone and vomer. Defects of the nasal septum may be due to a variety of causes such as trauma, infection, inhalant irritants and neoplasia. To our knowledge, up until now, congenital defect of the vomer has been presented in six cases without any nasal symptoms. We present two cases of congenital defect of vomer with thalassemia trait, the patients complaining of nasal obstruction.
