Choanal atresia is a congenital condition referring to the blockage of the posterior nasal cavity. As bilateral choanal atresia causes complete nasal congestion, it usually results in death due to asphyxia in the newborn if no emergency intervention is performed. Therefore, it is very rare to see a patient with bilateral choanal atresia who has reached an advanced age. There are only 11 adult cases reported in the recent literature. Here we report a case of a 60-year-old man diagnosed with bilateral choanal atresia and we discuss the clinical presentation and treatment modalities with a review of the literature.

“…When the disease is unilateral, it may be better tolerated and treatment may be delayed until the preschool period, although cases are usually treated in patients 1 to 2 years old. 8,9 In our study, two female patients whose ages were 28 and 58 years old were left untreated in the unilateral group. When their anamneses were evaluated, it was found that they lived in rural areas and had both low education levels and low parental education levels; it was thought that the diagnosis of the disease was delayed for these reasons.…”

“…In rare cases, treated patients with bilateral CA are reported at an older age. 8,9 Six of our patients had bilateral CA, all of whom were treated within the first 2 months of life. When the disease is unilateral, it may be better tolerated and treatment may be delayed until the preschool period, although cases are usually treated in patients 1 to 2 years old.…”

In this retrospective study, we reviewed the anesthesia management of patients with choanal atresia (CA). Fourteen patients undergoing surgery for CA between June 2007 and September 2018 were evaluated for age, gender, CA side, complications, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, duration of anesthesia, and presence of any additional anomalies. Six patients (42%) had bilateral atresia, and 8 (58%) had unilateral atresia. Various congenital anomalies were present in 50% of patients with bilateral atresia. Three patients were intubated with a C-MAC D pediatric blade because their Cormack-Lehane grade was 3 or 4. Though sevoflurane was used for all patients, total intravenous anesthesia was used for two patients with unilateral atresia. All patients were followed postoperatively while intubated except one patient with bilateral atresia. There was no need for postoperative intubation of any patients with unilateral atresia. In conclusion, clinicians should be aware of perioperative and postoperative complications in patients with CA, bilateral atresia, and accompanying congenital anomalies in the neonatal period. Total intravenous anesthesia can be chosen instead of inhalation anesthesia in appropriate cases, but sevoflurane can be used safely in the induction of anesthesia.

“…Eine beidseitig bestehende Choanalatresie wird dagegen bereits in den ersten Lebensminuten symptomatisch: Da Säuglinge als obligate Nasenatmer geboren werden, kommt es spontan, insbesondere aber beim Versuch der Nahrungsaufnahme, zu Sättigungsabfällen und Asphyxie [7]. Weltweit sind jedoch auch Einzelfälle von Jugendlichen oder Erwachsenen mit einer bilateralen Choanalatresie beschrieben worden [8].…”
