	Types of Congenital Uterine Anomalies: Septate Uterus
		While a septum is not thought to decrease fertility, it does seem to affect the course of a pregnancy, either through miscarriage or pregnancy complications.
		Early miscarriage is common within the septate uterus, because the blood-starved median septum is covered by a poorer grade of endometrium than that of the blood-rich sidewalls.
		An embryo implanting in the septum frequently fails to thrive because of lack of nourishment, and an early miscarriage is the result.

	What Can You Do About a Deviated Septum? - Swedish MC, Seattle, Washington, WA
		If, however, the septum protrudes too far to one side or the other, it can interfere with the movement of air into and out of, as well as the draining of mucus from, the nasal cavity.
		After a portion of the cartilage is removed and the septum is centered, tiny splints are placed inside the nose to keep the septum in place (usually for seven days) until the septum heals.
		Although surgical methods to repair a deviated septum are effective most of the time and usually result in no complications, postoperative complications (and/or a failure to correct the problem) sometimes occur.

	Transverse Vaginal Septum - Children's Hospital Boston
		A transverse vaginal septum is a horizontal "wall" of tissue that has formed during embryologic development and essentially creates a blockage of the vagina.
		After resection of the transverse vaginal septum, the woman may be required to use a vaginal dilator in order to avoid this "hour-glass" effect of the healing process.
		Once the transverse vaginal septum has been surgically corrected, the woman should be able to have normal sexual relations and should also have no long term effects on reproductive function and the ability to have a child.

		It is the portion of the septum that separates the tricuspid and pulmonary valves.
		The muscular outlet septum is formed primarily from the proximal endocardial ridges (similar to endocardial cushion tissue).
		Unless the supracristal defect is large, extending inferiorly to the perimembranous septum, the tricuspid valve is not involved in partial closure of the defect.

	Redundant Septum Primum Flap in Fetus with PACs
		The septum primum is relatively pocket-shaped and is not intact along the entire extent of the inter-atrial septal wall, allowing blood to pass from right to left atrium.
		However, because the opening of the septum primum is not directly over with the foramen ovale, the septum primum will effectively close the foramen ovale in early neonatal life as left atrial pressure exceeds right atrial pressure and the septum primum adheres to the septum secundum.
		Possible explanations may include: 1) the base of the foraminal flap may cause mechanical irritation to the sino-atrial node, 2) or it may be the interaction between the foraminal flap and the left atrial wall, or 3) the ASA may may cause blocking of SA-AV node transmission.

	stretching my septum
		I had been meaning to get my septum pierced for a number of years now, just never got around to doing it until about six months ago when a friend rang me up and asked if I wanted to come with him to get his septum pierced.
		My reply to that was, "You can't get your septum pierced because I want to get my septum pierced!" So we had the same idea and we decided that we would both get out septum's pierced but not tell anyone we did so.
		My friend's septum on the other hand seemed to heal in less than a month and he soon got a seamless ring to replace the retainer.
