A rare case of congenital bilateral membranous choanal atresia with oesophageal atresia in a neonate
Keywords:
Choanal Atresia, Oesophageal Atresia, Membranous Choanal Atresia
Abstract
Congenital Choanal Atresia is the developmental failure of the posterior choanae to communicate with the nasopharynx . Bilateral choanal atresia is an otolaryngology emergency as neonates are obligate nose breathers. Associated malformations are common.We report a case of Congenital Bilateral Membranous Choanal Atresia whose evaluation revealed associated esophageal atresia. Awareness of such associated anomalies is a must for prompt management of such babies.
