Flexible nasal endosc...

We describe here a case of congenital nasal nostril stenosis that required surgical repair for stenting of both nares after coanal atresia repair. Case Report: A 2 days old femal...
متن کاملCarbimazole Embryopathy and Choanal Atresia
Congenital choanal atresia (CCA), especially the bilateral form, is a rare neonatal emergency. Its incidence is usually quoted as 1 in 5000 8000 live-births. [1] However, a recent epidemiological study involving more than 2.2 million deliveries suggests that CCA is extremely rare with a calculated incidence of 3 to 9 per 100,000 livebirths.

متن کاملCongenital choanal atresia.
Congenital choanal atresia (CCA) is the developmental failure of the nasal cavity to communicate with the nasopharynx. Bilateral choanal atresia is potentially life threatening in newborns. Most of these cases present early in life with cyclical phases of respiratory distress and apnoea, which gets relieved by crying. In fewer cases it goes undiagnosed to present in adult life with rhinorrhoea ...
