Case Report Congenital Bilateral Choanal Atresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital choanal atresia (CCA) is the developmental failure of the nasal cavity to communicate with nasopharynx. Surgical repair is recommended in the first weeks of life in bilateral cases because this is a lifethreatening situation in newborns. This is a case report of a full term, healthy newborn baby presenting with intermittent attacks of cyanosis and respiratory distress soon after birth. On examination, alternating cyanosis and normal colour was observed in the infant. The insertion of nasal catheters in both the nares revealed the diagnosis of bilateral CCA. For this rare condition, conservative management was followed with elective transnasal endoscopic repair to relieve the life threatening nasal obstruction at the tenth day of life.

Congenital posterior choanal atresia is an uncommon anomaly which may have lifethreatening consequences. This defect is frequently associated with other congenital abnormalities. CT scan confirms the diagnosis and accurately defines the anatomy of the atresia and differentiates osseous stenosis from membranous stenosis in the choanae. Therefore, CT may be the first-line imaging choice for the p...
