Abstract

During delivery the delicate structures of the face are predominantly exposed to external force effects and hence deformities on the nose can emerge as a birth-related trauma in newborns. As self-straightening of the nasal septum commonly occurs, a conservative therapy is recommended for most cases. We report on a case where a birth-related trauma of the nose leaded to acute breathing problems in a newborn with insufficient oxygenation. An overview about the available literature is given. A cautious reposition of the nose proved to be an appropriate management for short- and long-term development.
