SPSS 17 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the 60 subjects in the study, 41(68.3%) were males and 19(31.7%) females with overall median age of 27. Nasal septal deviation was found in 49(81.7%) subjects; 11(18.3%) had it in both right and left sides, 16(26.7%) in right alone and 22(36.7%) in the left side. The commonest type of septal deviations in the left side were posteroinferior 10(16.66%) and anteroinferior 7(11.7%). In the right side, the corresponding numbers were 9(15%) and 7(11.7%).
