Are some septal XXXX revisited.

@entity1 @entity85 @entity74
OBJECTIVE: There has been little research into @entity74 . While, Peji   carried out a study some 50 years ago, and Grymer more recently suggested that some @entity85 could be inherited, both studies lack a precise definition of the types of @entity85 which were investigated. The aim of this paper is to investigate the hypothetic influence of heredity on the onset of particular types of @entity85 . The authors investigated a very particular and well defined type of @entity85 after Mladina's classification. METHODS: The authors studied a group of 22 @entity1 among 779 @entity1 aged 7-14, selected at random, suffering from @entity85 and their 44 parents. They were examined by means of anterior rhinoscopy by two the same ENT specialists in rhinology. The control group consisted of 24 @entity1 with a straight nasal septum of the same age and sex distribution and their 48 parents. The results were compared using Fisher's exact probability test. RESULTS: In the studied group @entity85 was found in 21 out of 22 both fathers and mothers of these @entity1 . Type 6 was not found in any of 48 parents of @entity1 with no @entity85 . CONCLUSIONS: There is a high positive correlation between the appearance of @entity85 in both mothers and fathers of @entity1 with this @entity85 . The high correlation in the incidence of type 6 @entity85 in mothers and their @entity1 and in fathers and their @entity1 suggests that this type of @entity85 is inherited. Most authors hold that only @entity85 result from inheritance factors, while @entity85 result from environmental factors, that is, from injury to the nose and the central massif of the face. However, our study of type 6 deformities shows that certain types of @entity85 can be inherited.
