If the septum is determined to be the cause of nasal obstruction in a child, a clinical dilemma arises. The main reason why septoplasty is performed uncommonly in a child is that growth centers within the nasal septum can be affteced. If these growth centers are disrupted, it is thought that there may be the potential for change in nasal shape.

On the other hand, if a child is having significant decrease in breathing which is effecting his or her ability to sleep at night like snoring and sleep apnea adenoid face etc, a limited conservative septoplasty can be done .
