“…Severe cases require a surgical intervention. The newborns in our clinical data had good ventilation in both nasal cavities and no disorder in pronunciation, so we could exclude choanal atresia and other upper airway congenital malformations 12,13 …”

“…Initially the endoscopic techniques were used mainly in older children with unilateral choanal atresia, but as surgeons' confidence in the endoscopic technique, aligned with improvements in equipment, has increased, a number of groups have published on endoscopic repair in neonates, within a few days of birth [8,31,51]. It is clear that surgery for bilateral atresia, especially in the first 10 days of life, has a higher recurrence rate of stenosis [8,31], and in this group it is not clear that extensive endoscopic surgery has much to offer over simple dilation and stenting [40].…”

Congenital narrowing of the nasal airway at the posterior choanae is an uncommon condition in pediatric patients, which can be uni-or bilateral. The presentation of bilateral choanal atresia is a neonatal airway emergency, requiring prompt treatment. The repair of unilateral choanal atresia is often an elective surgical procedure of early childhood, for which a variety of techniques have been described.Choanal atresia occurs as an isolated abnormality, or as part of a syndrome, most commonly CHARGE syndrome. Choanal atresia, and associated abnormalities such as abnormal semicircular canals and cranial nerve abnormalities, are integral part of the diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome. There is increasing understanding of the biology of choanal atresia, and aetiological risk factors are starting to become apparent. This review will discuss the diagnosis, aetiology, and surgical treatment of choanal atresia.
