Septal deviation The septum that separates the two sides of the
nose is usually straight. If the septum is not straight but
shifted to one side, it is known as a deviated septum. A
deviation in the septum of the nose can cause narrowing of the
nasal passage, lessening the amount of secretions that can
drain, sometimes leading to sinus infections.  Review Date:
