The midline of the nose consists of a cartilage and bony nasal septum that separates the two sides of the nasal cavity.
A deviation or bend in this structure can be present at birth or can occur following a nasal fracture. The obstruction caused by such a deviation can be corrected by surgically straightening the septum, called a septoplasty.
